# windows_updates
Puppet module to install selected windows updates or mask of updates etc.
#### Cavets
You may need to use `puppet module install --ignore-dependencies` as powershell may present in your modules
#### How to use
Install specific update by KB number.
```puppet
windows_updates::kb {'KB3012199':
ensure => 'present'
}
````
or
```puppet
windows_updates::kb {'Some custom description':
ensure => 'present',
kb => 'KB3012199'
}
````
Install specific update by KB number in a maintenance window.
```puppet
windows_updates::kb {'KB3012199':
ensure => 'present',
maintwindow => 'patch_window'
}
schedule { 'patch_window':
range => '01:00 - 03:00',
weekday => 'Saturday',
repeat => 1
}
````
Install Updates by name or mask. Will install all updates matching `.Net*` mask
```puppet
windows_updates::list {'.Net Updates':
ensure => 'present',
name_mask => '.Net*'
}
````
If you are not sure what updates go with name you set - use `dry_run` option and point it to output file.
```puppet
windows_updates::list {'.Net Updates':
ensure => 'present',
dry_run => 'C:\\what_will_be_installed.txt'
name_mask => '.Net*'
}
````
In this case your `what_will_be_installed.txt` will look like:
```csv
ComputerName Status KB Size Title
------------ ------ -- ---- -----
WIN-H7VQ4... ------ KB2931358 322 KB Security Update for Microsoft .NET Frame...

```
Install an update from within a WinRM remote session. Because wusa.exe cannot be used over WinRM directly, and `Invoke-WUInstall.ps1` works around this by scheduling a task to actually install the update.
```puppet
windows_updates::invoke_remote {'Some cool KB!':
ensure => 'present',
kb => 'KB3012199'
}
```
