wuinstall /search /criteria "IsHidden=0 and IsInstalled=0 and IsAssigned=1"

 How do I call WuInstall on a remote machine using psexec?

...

The default criteria option (see above) includes hidden and non-hidden updates. If you add “IsHidden=0” then the updates you marked as hidden will be skipped. An example would be: WuInstall /install /criteria "IsInstalled=0 and Type='Software' and IsHidden=0"

 Where does WuInstall download the updates?

...

  •  /install ... installs the update 
  •  /match "Internet Explorer 8" ... Filters only for Updates with title matching "Internet Explorer 8" 
  •  /autoaccepteula ... Accepts any EULAs automatically (suppress user interaction on that) 
  •  /disable_ie_firstruncustomize ... Disables the internet explorer 8 set up dialog. 
  •  /quiet ... The update-installer is forced to do an installation without user interaction 
  •  /disableprompt ... Disable showing source prompts to a user when installing the updates

 Why does WuInstall crash/generate failures during the download or installation of updates?

...

When using Windows XP it might cause problems using the "run as" command together with WuInstall. To prevent this you should use the /quiet and /disableprompt option on the end of your command.
