packer can run  powershell/bat scripts.

if you can script it, then packer can run it.

how you do it without packer today?

[Ron Prince]

run the wsus-client cookbook.

I don't know what the wsus-client cookbook is but looking at your packer.json you are just calling a powershell script. Unfortunately WUA cannot be called in a WinRM logon as it is restricted by Microsoft. People usually get around this by running it under a scheduled task as it runs under a batch logon which can access WUA.  The elevated_command is designed to do this for you https://www.packer.io/docs/provisioners/powershell.html#execute_command.
