Hi there,
in our virtual environment it would be great to shutdown the remote machine with installing updates (same as pressing the shutdown button when windows updates are available with the yellow sign).
We did not find a way to initiate this request because shutdown.exe doesn’t install available updates before shutting down.
In BatchPatch there is an option “installing updates and reboot always”. Would it be possible to get information about the “how” on doing this via remote / command line or whatever?
Best regards from Germany

To install updates and shutdown a group of computers: Highlight the computers (rows) in BatchPatch and then select ‘Actions > Windows updates > Update + shutdown > Install downloaded updates + shutdown.’

For other custom action sequences, please use the job queue: Using the Job Queue in BatchPatch for Multi-step Execution.
On our website there are numerous tutorials available at BatchPatch Tutorials. You can also download the BatchPatch Administrator’s Guide from inside the application under the ‘Help’ menu.
