Hello,

Thanks for the response.

I  am trying to automate windows patching with help of  ansible playbooks.

I  was adding  a scenario in playbook  that:

a) Only download the patch on WSUS client  --pending

b) Only install the patch on WSUS client   --pending

c) Downlod and  install the patch on WSUS client --done

How to achieve  steps 2 and  3 via playbooks.

Thanks!!

Hello,

I  am yet trying to download only the windows patches on client.

Is there any power shell snippet or module in ansible to do the same.

Thanks

Option A is on my to do. But I have to find out how.

Because it is nog a default task from the win_updates module in Ansible.

On the newer OS we can mayba something with the usoclient.exe and the startdownload parameter

Otherwhise we something to do with bittransfer service or com api to windows updates

Door downloading only I want toen make also a playbook

Niet we have a gpo with says download approved updates at night buy dont install Them

Option b only install is nooit possible I think because Windows update does automatic downloading alle approved patches when they are not available on the client.
