Guest Andrew Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Is there a way after an update is approved to force the WSUS client to checkin and pull down the updates on demand instead of waiting for the specified time interval? Thanks -- adebratto

Guest BigEd Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Run wuauclt.exe /detectnow from a command prompt on the client.

Guest Andrew Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 That command does not seem to do much of anything? -- adebratto "BigEd" wrote: > Run wuauclt.exe /detectnow from a command prompt on the client. > > "PA Bear" <PABearMVP@gmail.com> wrote in message > news:O$Axm6h9HHA.4200@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > > Forwarded to WSUS newsgroup via crosspost: > > microsoft.public.windows.server.update_services as a convenience to OP. > > > > On the web: > > http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.server.update_services > > > > In your newsreader: > > http://news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.server.update_services > > -- > > ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) > > MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) since 2002 > > AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.org/ > > > > Andrew wrote: > >> Is there a way after an update is approved to force the WSUS client to > >> checkin and pull down the updates on demand instead of waiting for the > >> specified time interval? > >> > >> Thanks > > > > > > >

Yes, using a script. I've written a very simple one, there are others available on the web which are more flexible. Mine is here: <http://www.scms.waikato.ac.nz/~harry/wsusupdate.vbs> Harry.
Guest Sgt_Ed Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Great Redmondmag Article reviewing WSUS. Look for the section "Big Red Button" which contains a WSUS UPdate Now vbs script. http://redmondmag.com/features/article.asp?editorialsid=1775 When I run the script I do a Netstat and look for the connection to my WSUS server and watch taskmanager CPU column. You can tell when updates are being pulled and the MSIexe starts running when the updates are being installed.
