Windows Updates via the Command Line - The easy way

There have been many ways to try and update windows from the command line. All of which range from medium difficulty to very difficult. Now it appears there is a free solution to install these updates via the command line all from one pre-coded program.

WUInstall allows you to run this program from a command prompt allowing you to update windows without needing a GUI environment. This tool could be very useful to those who have to update a box remotely. For example in a CTF event you could download and install the updates via the command line to help you lock down the box from access from anyone else.
The command to update via the command line is WuInstall.exe /install
It's that simple after the command it will automatically download and install all the windows security updates!!
I am going to post a link at the bottom of this post I hope it helps you out!
