I've run the commands on that page:<br />
<b>cscript SCregEdit.wsf /AU 4</b><b></b><b>Net stop wuauserv</b><b></b><b>Net start wuauserv</b><br />
<br />
Also from that page:<br />
When I run this command: <b>wuauclt /detectnow</b> I don't get any output, so I have no idea if the command worked or failed. When I run this command: <b>wmic qfe</b> list it doesn't return any updates.<br />
<br />
So, how do I know if there are updates for Server Core and how do I installed them?

The vbscript, WUA_SearchDownloadInstall.<wbr />vbs, in the MSDN Library works pretty well.<br />

Thanks for your help.
