![]() For information about manually configuring Windows Update on workstations, refer to this page. There is also a good collection of VBScripts that use the Windows Update API in the Script Center Script Repository. The Windows Update API is documented on MSDN. This week we will be looking at using the Windows Update API to work with Windows Update. So you want to be able to search for an update, download the update, and install the update? No problem. Looks cold luckily I am sipping a cup of Constant Comment tea and listening to the Kentucky Headhunters on my Zune. It looks pretty from my office windows, and the neighbors are in the street with their various snow implements. It’s a snow day! Woo Hoo! Hey, wait a minute, I work from home, so not much of a snow day after all. Well, we are snowed in down here in Charlotte today. Surely you have a better plan than that? I mean, you are after all the Microsoft Scripting Guy, not the Microsoft Talks the User Through the GUI Guy. However, what happens when I determine the update has not been applied? Am I supposed to call the user and talk them through connecting to the Microsoft Update site and choosing the appropriate update? That may work for one or two users, but it does not scale very well. Hey, Scripting Guy! Reporting on whether a Windows Update is installed or not is pretty cool.
