Force Check Microsoft Update using PowerShell

[petben]

we have some computers that need driver updates from Windows Update (we use WSUS for security updates). There is a powershell command to check and then install updates

 

Install-Module -Name PSWindowsUpdate

 

#Check

Get-WindowsUpdate -ComputerName ITROOM24 -MicrosoftUpdate

 

#Install

Get-WindowsUpdate -ComputerName ITROOM24 -MicrosoftUpdate -Install-AcceptAll

 

It finds updates, and the updates listed status changes to 'Accepted', but after leaving for a long time, reboot etc running the same command again it finds them again, having done nothing.

 

Anyone had luck doing updates via command line or powershell?

I assume you've got a space between -Install and -AcceptAll

 

Have you tried Install-WindowsUpdate instead of Get-WindowsUpdate:

 

Install-WindowsUpdate -MicrosoftUpdate -AcceptAll -AutoReboot

 

I've tried this in the past and it seemed to work OK, this was from Microsoft Update (no WSUS)
