Installing Microsoft Updates via PowerShell

Posted in Virtual Machine Manager, Windows Powershell, Windows Server | No Comment | 2,611 views | 19/06/2014 02:26

You can install Microsoft Updates on your server by using following PowerShell script.

This script doesn’t reboot your server after Microsoft Update, even if patch requires reboot.
Instead, it gives you True/False result as an output, so you can reboot server by checking Update results.
So you can use this script to create your own Cluster Aware Update procedure.

Function Install-MicrosoftUpdate {
 
<#
    .SYNOPSIS
 
        Function to install Microsoft Updates on Windows Servers.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
 
        If you have large number of Windows Servers, Microsoft Updates may not be an easy job.
		This script could start Microsoft Update installation on remote servers by using PowerShell.
 
    .PARAMETER  WhatIf

So if you just type:

Install-MicrosoftUpdate

that will install Microsoft Updates on your local server.
If you want to install Microsoft Updates on remote server, then type like:

Install-MicrosoftUpdate -ComputerName "MyHyperVHost01"

If you use this function in a script, then you can suppress write-host outputs:

Install-MicrosoftUpdate -ComputerName "MyHyperVHost01" -SuppressMode

That will give you Reboot Status as a result.
