wsus guru - how to patch me NOW !

started using wsus, so still a virgin. is there a way for the user to like click a button (maybe a script, .exe, shortcut, etc) and it will connect to wsus and patch the computer? me using GPO to point the computers to wsus.

wuauclt /detectnow at the command prompt will force the pc to go to the WSUS Server for updates

and here's some scripts: http://msmvps.com/blogs/athif/archiv.../15/95060.aspx

create a batch file with the following code:

Code:

net stop wuauserv

net start wuauserv

wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow

I only use it if its a new machine when our image is out of date for patches. Once its on our network wsus will keep it up to date.

If you want to do this on an ad hoc basis, check out a (free) utility called "gpupdate" by Specops (IIRC), it adds some context menu items into the ADUC snap in that allow you to initiate wuauclt, and gpupdate tasks on endpoints...

Alternatively, batch file containing "wuauclt /detectnow" once the client has received the WSUS group policy will do the trick.
