WUAUCLT & Retrieve WindowsUpdate.Log

Hi,

Is there any way to run "wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow" with the Kace Scripting? Or any better way to force Windows Device to check run the Windows Update? Btw I am doing the Windows Update via WSUS not Kace.
and
Is there any way to retrieve a log from the client to kace?

Thank you in advance!!

I tried a few ways but not working..

NOT WORKING 01

Run it via a Batch file with 1 single command >> wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow
Running as SYSTEM
C:\ProgramData\Dell\KACE\kbots_cache\packages\kbots\73>wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow
'wuauclt' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

try "wuauclt.exe /detectnow /updatenow" without /resetauthorization
Comments:
  • or perhaps the "Windows Update Service" (wuauserv) needs to be started or restarted before you invoke wuauclt? - JasonEgg 7 years ago
  • If all else fails, this is how to do it via PowerShell:
    (New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.AutoUpdate).DetectNow() - JasonEgg 7 years ago
