Some Window 2012 Server Core servers have gone “live” in our
production environment. Hence, I am
expected to know how to manage those servers.
In this post, it will be about Windows Updates for the Server
Cores.
In order to verify the current Windows Update setting,
the below command need to
be issued at the command prompt:
C:\windows\system32>cscript
scregedit.wsf /au /v
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version
5.8
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All
rights reserved.
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto
Update AUOptions Value not set.
In order to start the Windows Update service, the below command need to
be issued at the command prompt:
C:\windows\system32>net start
wuauserv
The Windows Update service is starting.
The Windows Update service was started
successfully.
In order to view updates installed on a specific date
(i.e. 13 Sep 2013), the below command need to be issued at the command prompt:
C:\wmic qfe where (installedon
like “9/13/2013”)
