When you deploy software updates by using Software Update Services, Microsoft recommends that you deploy the updates by using command-line parameters that provide for silent installation (no user interaction, no user input, and no automated computer restarts). This facilitates more reliable deployments with fewer computer restarts and increased productivity.

 

This article includes a representative list of products, updates, and recommended command-line parameters for deployments by using the Software Update Services Feature Pack. Additional details may also be available for each product or patch in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
