Microsoft update is based on the actual version of the Auto update client on the workstation. Unless you are running the WSUS server and configure the server to auto update the client to the latest version- you will need to manually update the client or create and deploy a package to update the client. After the client workstation has the latest AU client- it will download and install MS updates as well as Windows updates- based on the configuration of the autoupdate/windows update settings on the machine- whether it is set manually or applied through GPOs.

Is there a way to enable Microsoft updates with Group Policy. I know you can set policies for Automatic updates, but this is different that Microsoft Updates. Any ideas? Booker
