Description
The Start-SCUpdateServerSynchronization cmdlet starts synchronization between the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) update server and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).
The first time this synchronization runs, it imports the full WSUS update catalog into VMM. By default, after the first synchronization, this cmdlet performs an incremental import. To force a full catalog import, specify the ForceFullUpdateCatalogImport parameter.
Examples
Example 1: Start an update server synchronization
PS C:\> $UpdateServer = Get-SCUpdateServer -ComputerName "WSUSComputer01"
PS C:\> Start-SCUpdateServerSynchronization -UpdateServer $UpdateServer
The first command gets the update server named WSUSComputer01, and then stores that object in the $UpdateServer variable.
The second command starts synchronization between WSUSComputer01 and Microsoft Update.
Example 2: Start a full import of the Microsoft Update Catalog
PS C:\> $UpdateServer = Get-SCUpdateServer -ComputerName "WSUSComputer01"
PS C:\> Start-SCUpdateServerSynchronization -UpdateServer $UpdateServer -ForceFullUpdateCatalogImport
The first command gets the update server named WSUSComputer01, and then stores that object in the $UpdateServer variable.
The second command starts synchronization between WSUSComputer01 and Microsoft Update. The command specifies that the full catalog is imported.
Parameters
-ForceFullUpdateCatalogImport
Indicates that the VMM update server imports the full update catalog from WSUS. By default, after the first synchronization, this cmdlet performs an incremental import.
