here's update script i'm using:

'windows update session

set updatesession = createobject("microsoft.update.session")

set updatesearcher = updatesession.createupdatesearcher()

wscript.echo "searching updates..." & vbcrlf

set searchresult = _

updatesearcher.search("isinstalled=0 , type='software'")

wscript.echo "list of applicable items on machine:"

for = 0 searchresult.updates.count-1

    set update = searchresult.updates.item(i)

    wscript.echo + 1 & "> " & update.title

next

if searchresult.updates.count = 0 then

wscript.echo "there no applicable updates."

wscript.quit

end if

wscript.echo vbcrlf & "creating collection of updates download:"

set updatestodownload = createobject("microsoft.update.updatecoll")

for = 0 searchresult.updates.count-1

    set update = searchresult.updates.item(i)

    wscript.echo + 1 & "> adding: " & update.title 

    updatestodownload.add(update)

next

wscript.echo vbcrlf & "downloading updates..."

set downloader = updatesession.createupdatedownloader() 

downloader.updates = updatestodownload

downloader.download()

wscript.echo  vbcrlf & "list of downloaded updates:"

for = 0 searchresult.updates.count-1

    set update = searchresult.updates.item(i)

    if update.isdownloaded then

       wscript.echo + 1 & "> " & update.title 

    end if

next

set updatestoinstall = createobject("microsoft.update.updatecoll")

wscript.echo  vbcrlf & _

"creating collection of downloaded updates install:" 

for = 0 searchresult.updates.count-1

    set update = searchresult.updates.item(i)

    if update.isdownloaded = true then

       wscript.echo + 1 & "> adding:  " & update.title 

       updatestoinstall.add(update)

    end if

next

wscript.echo  vbcrlf & "would install updates now? (y/n)"

strinput = wscript.stdin.readline

wscript.echo 

if (strinput = "n" or strinput = "n") then 

wscript.quit

elseif (strinput = "y" or strinput = "y") then

wscript.echo "installing updates..."

set installer = updatesession.createupdateinstaller()

installer.updates = updatestoinstall

set installationresult = installer.install()

'output results of install

wscript.echo "installation result: " & _

installationresult.resultcode 

wscript.echo "reboot required: " & _ 

installationresult.rebootrequired & vbcrlf 

wscript.echo "listing of updates installed " & _

"and individual installation results:" 

for = 0 updatestoinstall.count - 1

wscript.echo + 1 & "> " & _

updatestoinstall.item(i).title & _

": " & installationresult.getupdateresult(i).resultcode

next

end if

any getting me on track appreciated.

thanks,

is there way force wuagent perform update/install?

not on embedded os machine, typically on systems have defined maintenance window , updates need installed specified scheduled event. using script install updates if need them on demand fine -- need aware script not needs done manage windows updates on system. (e.g. selfupdate, diagnostics, repair).

also, os version have has no explorer shell, cmd.exe. agent automatically download , install updates no manual input?

automatically detect/download updates based on configured detection interval , availabilty of approved updates on wsus server. if auoptions='4', install downloaded updates @ specified time in policy setting.
