Windows Server Core has no graphical interface, it is possible to make updates by using command line or through the terminal products like System Center.
I will show how to enable or disable automatic updates:
- To enable automatic updates, type the command: "cscript scregedit.wsf / AU / 4"
- Stop and start the Windows Update service by using the command "net <stop/start> wuauserv"
- To check the current settings, you can use the command: "cscript scregedit.wsf / AU / v"
- Finally, if you want to disable the automatic update, use the same procedure using the command "cscript scregedit.wsf / AU / 1"
- You can also force the search for updates using the command (because the search for updates is set to 03h00): "wuauclt / detectnow"
I wrote a FREE application to manage Windows 2008 Core servers.
This application includes a module to show updates available and install selected updates.
You can set Automatic Updates and select the day/hour or Turn Off Automatic Updates.
Visual Core Configurator 2008 is available to download at
