Hello,

I have Windows Updates enabled on all of my servers, but do not have it set to auto download and install. It's set to just download the files and wait for me to install. This has to be set up this way due to software we run in house and possible conflicts.

What I'd like to know is: Can anyone recommend a script I can have running on the servers that will notify me which servers have updates that need to be installed? I figure I can schedule it to run and have the script perform a NET SEND to my computer.

Thanks.
