Problem:
After approving updates in WSUS and wanting to then install them you have to either wait 24 hours which is the default interval (this can be changed in a GPO) or you can manually run wuauclt.exe /detectnow and wuauclt.exe /reportnow. How can we run this on all servers in the domain?
Solution:
This can be done using the following PowerShell script:
# Powershell Script to force clients check into WSUS server # Import Active Directory PS Modules CMDLETS Import-Module ActiveDirectory $comps = Get-ADComputer -Filter {operatingsystem -like "*server*"} Foreach ($comp in $comps) { Invoke-Command -computername $comp.Name { wuauclt.exe /detectnow } Write-Host Forced WSUS Detect on $comp.Name Invoke-Command -computername $comp.Name { wuauclt.exe /reportnow } Write-Host Forced WSUS Report-In on $comp.Name }
