Funny thing about this is I found that wuauclt \/reportnow still works in Server 2016, as noted in my other blog posts. I generally didn’t use \/detectnow. However what I found was that the new commands did work for me.<\/p>\n
Such as these as mentioned from Spiceworks:<\/p>\n
“Start checking for updates: UsoClient StartScan<\/p>\n
Start downloading Updates: UsoClient StartDownload<\/p>\n
Start installing the downloaded updates: UsoClient StartInstall<\/p>\n
Restart your device after installing the updates: UsoClient RestartDevice<\/p>\n
Check, Download and Install Updates: UsoClient ScanInstallWait”<\/p>\n
Then of course these as mentioned in the TechNet post:<\/p>\n
“RefreshSettings \u2013 used to quickly enact any settings changes
\nRestartDevice \u2013 as the name implies, it restarts the device. Can be used in a script to allow updates to finish installing on next boot.
\nResumeUpdate \u2013 used to tell the tool to resume updating after a reboot.
\nStartDownload \u2013 initiates a full download (from Microsoft) of existing updates
\nStartInstall \u2013 kicks-off the installation of the downloaded updates
\nScanInstallWait \u2013 Combined Scan Download Install
\nStartInteractiveScan \u2013 we\u2019ve yet to get this one to work, but it suggests that the process may work in a GUI
\nStartScan \u2013 kicks-off a regular scan”<\/p>\n
While it is nice to see something available, it would be nice if MS made a more formal announcement of the deprecation and the replacements.<\/p>\n
Hope this helps someone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I probably should be a bit more clear, this post will cover how I managed to get a Windows Server 2016 to “check for updates” when it had gone wrong and was stuck looping (checking) and failing where it replaces the “check for updates” button with nothing other than “retry”. This happened after clicking “Search … <\/p>\n
