Alias
Required	False
Pipeline	false
Default Value

-Action

An object containing the action plan


Alias
Required	False
Pipeline	false
Default Value

-Restart

Restart computer automatically after a successful installation of a patch and wait until it comes back online. Using this parameter is the only way to chain-install more than 1 patch on a computer, since every single patch will require a restart of said computer.


Alias
Required	False
Pipeline	false
Default Value	False

-Authentication

Chooses an authentication protocol for remote connections. If the protocol fails to establish a connection Defaults:

CredSSP when -Credential is specified - due to the fact that repository Path is usually a network share and credentials need to be passed to the remote host to avoid the double-hop issue.
Default when -Credential is not specified. Will likely fail if a network path is specified.


Alias
Required	False
Pipeline	false
Default Value	Credssp
Accepted Values	Default,Basic,Negotiate,NegotiateWithImplicitCredential,Credssp,Digest,Kerberos

-Credential

Windows Credential with permission to log on to the remote server. Must be specified for any remote connection if update Repository is located on a network folder.

Lets you specify a location to extract the update file to on the system requiring the update. e.g. C:\temp


Alias
Required	False
Pipeline	false
Default Value

-ArgumentList

A list of extra arguments to pass to the execution file. Accepts one or more strings containing command line parameters. Example: ... -ArgumentList "/SkipRules=RebootRequiredCheck", "/Q"


Alias
Required	False
Pipeline	false
Default Value

-NoPendingRenameCheck

Disables pending rename validation when checking for a pending reboot.


Alias
Required	False
Pipeline	false
Default Value	False

-EnableException

By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.


Alias
Required	False
Pipeline	false
Default Value	False

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed.


Alias	wi
