Hi,

I am just looking for a set of commands using which I can initiate the
Automatic Update and install the updates in my Win2K3 server. I would
prefer no user intervention. I would like to do everything silently.

Is there any way I can acheive it, rather than visiting
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and clicking on few links?

TIA,
R K

Hi;

First, you would need to set AU to download and install Automatically.
You can initiate an AU session by entering this command (sans quotes):
"wuauclt.exe /detectnow"
