How to kick start WSUS check

By | |

So occasionally during our maintenance weekend tasks the server does not show any updates whereas I know there are updates available. Simply run this from Command Line to kick start the WSUS client to check on updates.

[code]
net stop wuauserv
REG DELETE “HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionWindowsUpdateAuto Update” /v NextDetectionTime /f
net start wuauserv
wuauclt.exe /detectnow
[/code]
 
Running this on Windows 7 and Server 2008, have tested on Server 2003
