Hello,

I have a question: when and how do you set the wsus server uri? This is important, because if you set it after the logon script has started, the windows updates install will fail.

Thank you.

Hi,
I am setting it up in the logon script itself just before unzipping the PSWindowsupdate module. Below is the code that I am using the set the uri.

Set up the registry values to WSUS server

$WindowsUpdateRegKey = "HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU"
$WindowsUpdateRootRegKey = "HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\"
$WSUSServer = "http://mywsusserveruri/"
$StatServer = "http://mywsusserveruri/"
$Enabled = 1

Test if the Registry Key doesn't exist already

if(-not (Test-Path $WindowsUpdateRegKey))
{
# Create the WindowsUpdate\AU key, since it doesn't exist already
# The -Force parameter will create any non-existing parent keys recursively
New-Item -Path $WindowsUpdateRegKey -Force
}

Enable an Intranet-specific WSUS server

Set-ItemProperty -Path $WindowsUpdateRegKey -Name UseWUServer -Value $Enabled -Type DWord

Specify the WSUS server

Set-ItemProperty -Path $WindowsUpdateRootRegKey -Name WUServer -Value $WSUSServer -Type String

Specify the Statistics server

Set-ItemProperty -Path $WindowsUpdateRootRegKey -Name WUStatusServer -Value $StatServer -Type String

Thanks.

For the moment, the windowsupdatecli module is not compatible with a wsus server. We are working on it to offer support for wsus.

Thanks, Adrian. I was able to use the script for one of my test VM to install updates through wsus using this module. However it does not work with the logon script. Appreciate if you can please comment once it is fixed.

Hi @ader1990 , Please advice if windowsupdateCli is now working with WSUS or not.

Hello @Parth6288 ,

You can try changing this value for the windowsupdatecli to see if it works in your environment: https://github.com/ader1990/WindowsUpdateCLI/blob/master/WindowsUpdates/WindowsUpdates.psm1#L19

In your case, it should be either 0 or 1. More information you can find here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa387280(v=vs.85).aspx

Let me know if this works for you.

Thanks, Adrian Vladu

thanks @ader1990 , It seems to be working now with Windows 2012 STD and 2008 R2. It is however taking a lot of time to install the updates( around 6-7 hours in 2012 STD and more than 10 hours in 2008 R2). Is this how it is with Windows update as well or could be with my environment. I am doing multiple test in our environment for this.

@Parth6288 did it work with a 0 or 1? If it is possible, can you do a PR with the code that worked for you?

Thanks.

Hi @ader1990 it worked with value 1. I have created a pull request with the modified code. Thanks for all the help in getting this resolved. I will try creating the actual image once December month patches are released. :)
