Thanks for the information. The XML file with those settings was created in the module's folder.
The question regards how to declare the PSWUSettings.xml in the Powershell command line.
Here is the error message I received.
Install-WindowsUpdate : Missing SmtpServer; Use -PSWUSettings or declare PSWUSettings.xml in ModuleBase path.
Thanks
LL10890 Sorry, my bad 🙂 It should be in a hashtable format, command should be something like
Install-WindowsUpdate -ComputerName nysrv1 -MicrosoftUpdate -AcceptAll - IgnoreReboot -SendReport –PSWUSettings @{SmtpServer="smtp.woshub.com";From="Email address removed";To="Email address removed";Port=25} -Verbose
