  • Passing in filter parameters. These parameters include Classification, Approval, and Status. One or more updates matching the specified criteria are returned.

EXAMPLES

PS C:\> Get-WsusUpdate -Classification All -Approval Unapproved -Status FailedOrNeeded

This command gets all unapproved updates with a status of failed or needed.

Example 2: Get critical unapproved updates

PS C:\> Get-WsusUpdate -Classification Critical -Approval Unapproved -Status Any
