Core Server WSUS Updates
I know, I've read the other posts but am still unable to update my virtual server. All I have managed to do so far is install 2008 Standard Core Server, add the admin password, rename the server, join the domain, and spend unbelieveable amounts of time trying to figure out how to get the updates. WSUS sees the server and says there are 7 updates, but I can't make them talk to each other.
I was really having fun with this sucker until I got to this point. Please someone tell me "what to type" to get the updates. Thank you soooooooooo much!

- I should have specified that I did try enabling automatic updates by running the cscript scregedit.wsf /AU 4 command, yet when I run the command to verify the current setting type it states "value not set". If I run the systeminfo command it shows N/A for hotfixes. Please help.
Found it FINALLY! Nothing seemed to work until I found Nathan, thank goodness for these people that have been through it and make it easy. I'll be back though, who wants to place a bet?
Updates are done!

- I really should have been more specific in my initial post. I had tried that and it didn't work, none of the things I found on the step by step's seemed to work and that's how I wound up here. Thank you so much for your reply though, it's good to know someone is on top of things.
Thanks LostGoose, A handy script to keep around.
For those looking for the VBS Script this is the code :-
ServerCoreMU.VBS
Code SnippetSet updateSession = CreateObject("Microsoft.Update.Session")
Set updateSearcher = updateSession.CreateupdateSearcher()WScript.Echo "Searching for updates..." & vbCRLF
Set searchResult = _
updateSearcher.Search("IsInstalled=0 and Type='Software'")
WScript.Echo "List of applicable items on the machine:"For I = 0 To searchResult.Updates.Count-1
Set update = searchResult.Updates.Item(I)
WScript.Echo I + 1 & "> " & update.Title
NextIf searchResult.Updates.Count = 0 Then
WScript.Echo "There are no applicable updates."
WScript.Quit
End IfWScript.Echo vbCRLF & "Creating collection of updates to download:"
Set updatesToDownload = CreateObject("Microsoft.Update.UpdateColl")
For I = 0 to searchResult.Updates.Count-1
Set update = searchResult.Updates.Item(I)
WScript.Echo I + 1 & "> adding: " & update.Title
updatesToDownload.Add(update)
NextWScript.Echo vbCRLF & "Downloading updates..."
Set downloader = updateSession.CreateUpdateDownloader()
downloader.Updates = updatesToDownload
downloader.Download()WScript.Echo vbCRLF & "List of downloaded updates:"
For I = 0 To searchResult.Updates.Count-1
Set update = searchResult.Updates.Item(I)
If update.IsDownloaded Then
WScript.Echo I + 1 & "> " & update.Title
End If
NextSet updatesToInstall = CreateObject("Microsoft.Update.UpdateColl")
WScript.Echo vbCRLF & _
"Creating collection of downloaded updates to install:"For I = 0 To searchResult.Updates.Count-1
set update = searchResult.Updates.Item(I)
If update.IsDownloaded = true Then
WScript.Echo I + 1 & "> adding: " & update.Title
updatesToInstall.Add(update)
End If
NextWScript.Echo vbCRLF & "Would you like to install updates now? (Y/N)"
strInput = WScript.StdIn.Readline
WScript.EchoIf (strInput = "N" or strInput = "n") Then
WScript.Quit
ElseIf (strInput = "Y" or strInput = "y") Then
WScript.Echo "Installing updates..."
Set installer = updateSession.CreateUpdateInstaller()
installer.Updates = updatesToInstall
Set installationResult = installer.Install()
'Output results of install
WScript.Echo "Installation Result: " & _
installationResult.ResultCode
WScript.Echo "Reboot Required: " & _
installationResult.RebootRequired & vbCRLF
WScript.Echo "Listing of updates installed " & _

For I = 0 to updatesToInstall.Count - 1
