I really think I need some looking at this script also, currently in my environment, I use GPOs to do all this work, but I think I may have missed something... All my servers only restart when needed, they only apply the GPOs when needed, but I feel left out and would also like this script ;o)

Yes I had looked at that option in light of this thread but I wanted my
admins to do the updates themselves (especially on database servers etc.). I
have a very simple script that simple notifies and mailbox that a server
requires a reboot.

I implemented it in Vbscript as I wanted it to run natively without and
framework requirements.
I'll post it when I find it. It was only a couple of lines of code
:)

Darragh,

I've looked at Kevin's script (thanks again, Kevin). It does a nice job of
downloading and applying updates through the Microsoft.Update.Session
object... (Probably exactly what you tried to avoid. :) ) It also
writes very nice status messages in the event log for success or failure of
the various steps in the process.

If I had one complaint, it's that the script will reboot a machine whether
or not any update truly requires a restart... Of course, 95% of the time,
some update in the pile does require a restart, so it's probably not that
big a deal... But even then there's still 'some' unnecessary rebooting
going on.... Maybe we can combine your registry check with Kevin's script
to only reboot the when it's truly required. That would be ideal.

Look forward to seeing your code!

Joe Pochedley

Kevin,
I have a vb script that does this (i.e. detects if the server requires
updates) and reboots the server. It does this by checking a registry key. It
only detects updates installed by WU that require a reboot, not manually
installed updates (i.e. updates run outside of the Windows Update Agent
GUI).

I will dig it up and post here as it seems to be much wanted. I'd be
interested in seeing how you accomplished it also? I tried initially using
the API but it didn't appear to expose this readily without creating an
Installation object which is overkill.

Ok, here is guts of a very simple script I used with SCOM and a GPP
scheduled task (depending on whether the server had an SCOM agent on it).
I've amended it to show different ways of detecting the reboot requirement.
I also had it read from an .xml file and email the owners of the servers
letting them know they must reboot. It's easily adaptable to reboot the
server or whatever you need.



My goal was simple:



* For servers that have yet to have the updates installed, notify
the admins that they need to do so via email (an additional part of the
script which I haven't included and in fact runs on the WSUS server)

* For servers that have had the updates installed, notify the admins
to reboot as this should be done ASAP after updates are installed.



Hopefully this helps some of you guys out. Let me know of any bugs. It
doesn't make any changes to your systems.



Systems tested on:

A. Windows XP SP3

B. Windows 2003 x86

C. Windows 2008 x86/x64
