Powershell for automatize windows update and program installation

Hi,
I come from linux world. I'm currently writing a script in order to automatize the updating of windows OS and the installation of programs.
I'm using the chocolately packages manager together with this script https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/2d191bcd-3308-4edd-9de2-88dff796b0bc that it is also available in chocolately repository.
I have a problem about setting the ServiceManager. I cannot register to Microsoft Update service. I do not how to do this. These are few row of my script.

Code:

Import-Module PSWindowsUpdate
Get-WUServiceManager

ServiceID                            IsManaged IsDefault Name
---------                            --------- --------- ----
117cab2d-82b1-4b5a-a08c-4d62dbee7782 False     False     Windows Store
855e8a7c-ecb4-4ca3-b045-1dfa50104289 False     False     Windows Store (DCat Prod)
9482f4b4-e343-43b6-b170-9a65bc822c77 False     True      Windows Update

Get-WUList -MicrosoftUpdate

WARNING: Can't find registered service Microsoft Update. Use Get-WUServiceManager to get registered service.

Get-WUInstall -MicrosoftUpdate -IgnoreUserInput -AcceptAll -Verbose 

WARNING: Can't find registered service Microsoft Update. Use Get-WUServiceManager to get registered service.

If I use the following syntax by substituting MicrosoftUpdate with WindowsUpdate, it works well.

Code:

Get-WUList -WindowsUpdate

I made a lot of search on the web without success. I also read the help documentation
help Get-WUServiceManager -full | -examples

Thank you

 

Ok thank you for the fast reply. Are you sure about this?
Why in the file Example PSWindowsUpdate from here https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/2d191bcd-3308-4edd-9de2-88dff796b0bc at the fifth row is there written PS C:\> Get-WUInstall -MicrosoftUpdate -IgnoreUserInput -WhatIf -Verbose?
Is the script not update?
If so I will send an email to author since I waste some hours about trying to solve this problem.

 

Moreover, I forgot to mention that the help

Code:

help Get-WUInstall

contains the -MicrosoftUpdate option

Code:

NAME
    Get-WUInstall

SYNOPSIS
    Download and install updates.


SYNTAX
    Get-WUInstall [[-UpdateType] <String>] [[-UpdateID] <String[]>] [[-RevisionNumber] <Int32>] [[-CategoryIDs]
    <String[]>] [-IsInstalled] [-IsHidden] [-WithHidden] [[-Criteria] <String>] [-ShowSearchCriteria] [[-Category]
    <String[]>] [[-KBArticleID] <String[]>] [[-Title] <String>] [[-NotCategory] <String[]>] [[-NotKBArticleID]
    <String[]>] [[-NotTitle] <String>] [-IgnoreUserInput] [-IgnoreRebootRequired] [[-ServiceID] <String>]
    [-WindowsUpdate] [-MicrosoftUpdate] [-ListOnly] [-DownloadOnly] [-AcceptAll] [-AutoReboot] [-IgnoreReboot]
    [-AutoSelectOnly] [-Debuger] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

 

I found the solution. I have to type

Code:

Add-WUServiceManager -ServiceID 7971f918-a847-4430-9279-4a52d1efe18d 

in order to obtain the MicrosoftUpdate service. Now the final problem is that I cannot automate such operation since is still required the user interaction.
Any suggestion?

 

Hi,
I have finally found the final solution.

Code:

Import-Module PSWindowsUpdate
Get-WUServiceManager
Add-WUServiceManager -ServiceID 7971f918-a847-4430-9279-4a52d1efe18d -Confirm:$false
Get-WUInstall -MicrosoftUpdate -IgnoreUserInput -AcceptAll -IgnoreReboot -Verbose

It works well on Windows 7/8/10 64 bit.
