Actions: Forcing windows update and installation
A while ago I came across a VB script from Rob Dunn. I am using it successfully for years now. With PDQ Deploy you can "upload" and run the script on all machines connected to your WSUS server and this way force them to download and install all the patches/fixes from WSUS server and send a final report to your e-mail address.
The script (version 2.6a), including documentation, can be found at http://www.theitoolbox.com/?p=13
I highly recommend it.

Just to add my voice to those that would be utterly blown away with the ability for PDQ to connect to WSUS and deploy patches....
Was anyone able to get this script working? I am trying to use this script to pull the updates from WSUS from schedule collections
Just to update this thread since my original web site is no longer running...you can get the WSUS update script here: https://community.spiceworks.com/scripts/show/82-windows-update-agent-force-script-email-results-version-2-8
