PowerShell DSC resource to enable/disable Microsoft Update

less than 1 minute read

MSUpdate

Ever get tired to manually set the check box for Microsoft Update in the above screen on a bunch of servers (e.g. in a new test lab setup or so)? Then this one is for you. I wrote recently, mostly as an exercise, a PowerShell DSC Module with a resource to enable (or disable) the Microsoft Update.

I have then published the Module von GitHub to get another exercise. 😉 So if you interested you can get the Module from here: https://github.com/J0F3/cMicrosoftUpdate

Note: The cMicrosoftUpdate resource is integrated in the official Microsoft community resource xWindowsUpdate in the meantime

After you get the module, enabling the Microsoft Update settings will look like this: DSCMSUpdate

Happy DSCing!😁
