Most administrators are quite busy
and forget to apply the required patches. Of course, if you have just one server and a dedicated
administrator, downloading the patches and applying them manually can work. After all, applying
patches manually is how most administrators have worked for years (just not very successfully in
larger organizations).
Fortunately, you don??™t need Internet Explorer to perform automatic updates for Server Core.
One of the features that comes with Server Core is the Windows Update AutoUpdate Client
(WUAUClt) utility. This utility performs automatic updates of your server, but Microsoft doesn??™t
enable it by default and you don??™t have a convenient GUI method of activating it. Use any of these
techniques to enable the WUAUClt utility.

server to update automatically each morning at 3:00
