eouk Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Hi Guys, I just tried to install windows updates via my iphone app on one of my servers... How does this work? There's no one logged into the server... how does it perform the updates? What if the windows updates needs user intervention to get by some prompts??... How can I check on this? I"m logged into the server now (on the console) and i don't see any "Windows Updates" activity.... Please advise, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Paul Posted December 17, 2011 Administrators Share Posted December 17, 2011 Hello, All Windows Update actions are running in background. This means that no user interaction will be required. You can check for updates / install updates / restart the computer without any user being logged into the computer.

eouk Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 THanks for the quick reply Paul! I just have another quick question: What about the IE 8 install? DOesn't it ask for user input? Everytime i've manually installed updates and install IE 8 it always ask me to participate in microsoft stuff and if I should install updates, etc...

eouk Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 I guess, if it runs in the background, it chooses default settings? It looks like the updates installed OK without my intervention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Paul Posted December 17, 2011 Administrators Share Posted December 17, 2011 Hello, PC Monitors performs a silent install for updates. This way all the user imputs are eliminated and defaults will be taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
