WAU / MRS ... hybrid? Update/reboot/repeat til done
Posted: Fri Oct 29, 2021 9:14 pm
I used to use WSUS Offline Updater but, with all the lockdowns and doing a lot more remote work, that's no longer practical.
I've thought a bunch of times about asking for this and even thought I had but I'll put it down now.... I've got a few clients that don't turn their PCs on for weeks or even months at a time. For them, I'd like to be able to do a quick connection, start a program and let it run and, when done, know that it's fully updated.
Alternatively, when I've finished whatever other issues that needed fixing, to be able to run this as a 'value added' service.
Oh, and what about a couple of CMD entries in the Settings to do something like run PatchMyPC after all the updates are done? And a Shutdown-when-done option? That'd get the whole thing fully updated and turned off.
