Hi Everyone,
Please find the script to make your infrastructure environment 100% patch compliant and do let me know the feedback. It will help admins to fix WSUS client issue and can help them to automate the fix and reduce no of tickets :)
Here we go,
'script will use wmi to do the following on a local computer

If you have some more thoughts, please share. I would like to script your thoughts to automate the administration.
