I re-read your original post and noticed you said you want the server to go out and get updates now, not the client.. Is this correct? If so, we are going about this the wrong way - I thought you were trying to force the client to download and apply any approved updates from the WSUS server.... There should be some type of "Synchronize Now" option, I don't remember where I haven't touched WSUS since around the time they stopped calling SUS and WUS....
If I'm way off track, let me know.... ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2008 10:32 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Cc: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: How to run WindowsUpdate on demand, with WSUS v3?

(note the space) There is, and it's 143K in size ... I've just added the Microsoft Update client to that workstation. And did a "wuauclt /detectnow".
