SIM windows update

Can I make windows update via SIM?
Manual or automaticly !

Thanks

Not directly. You'd need to look at the Vulnerability and Patch Management (VPM) product.
It can be managed from SIM, but it's a licensed (with cost) addin.
I do run a script that extracts a list of servers from the database and runs MBSA against them to verify patch compliance, so you could do something similar.

Thanks for the answer.
What is MBSA?

I'm guessing it is Microsoft Base Security Analyzer.

Yep - MBSA = Microsoft Baseline Analyzer. It's useful as it has a command line option. useful for scripting. It can generate reports in a number of formats.
