Benefits of the Extended Version WuInstall 1.2. PRO

WuInstall 1.2. PRO contains all features of the Freeware Version 1.1. and additionally several usefull features (see below). The main benefit of WuInstall 1.2 Pro is that you can filter the list of available updates and decide what kind of updates you want to install. For example, it is possible to limit installations according to severity levels or classifications. In addition, you can search for product names in updates, and even use regular expressions to find specific patches. You are able to see the installation status. The entire process is recorded in log files. Another feature is that you can temporarily bypass WSUS. This can be useful if you want to check for the availability of a certain patch that has not yet been downloaded to your WSUS server.

New features in version 1.2 PRO:

• /download_to directory -> Searches and downloads updates AND copies the installation packages to the directory specified
• /severity severity_level → consider only updates that match severity level(s)
  severity_level: C=Critical I=Important M=Moderate L=Low U=Unknown
  Critical: A security issue whose exploitation could allow the propagation of an Internet worm without user action
  Important: A security issue whose exploitation could result in compromise of the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of users' data, or of the integrity or availability of processing resources.
  Moderate: Exploitation is mitigated to a significant degree by factors such as default configuration, auditing, or difficulty of exploitation.
  Low: A security issue whose exploitation is extremely difficult, or whose impact is minimal.
• /match "regexp" → searching is now also possible with regular expressions, so the complexity of searches is greatly increased
• /nomatch "regexp" → searches updates that DONT match regex (regular expressions supported!)
• /matchfile file → searches for updates, which match at least one search expression in file (one expression per line, regular expressions supported)
• /nomatchfile file → searches for updates, which no not match any of the search expressions in file (one expression per line, regular expressions supported)

• /product "product_name" → search updates for a certain product (Windows XP, Office 2007, SQL Server 2005, ...)
• /bypass_wsus → if a WSUS is used, switches off the WSUS server before executing WuInstall commands, and then switches WSUS on again afterwards
• /use_wsus wsus_address → changes the WSUS to the specified wsus_address (also switches WSUS use on if it is switched off) for the execution of WuInstall, and then sets everything to the initial WSUS configuration state afterwards
• /autoaccepteula → automatically accepts EULAs for all updates which have to be installed (without any user interaction)
