Which tool should you use?

A.
the Add-CauClusterRole cmdlet

B.
the Wusa command

C.
the Wuauclt command

D.
the Invoke-CauScan cmdlet

Explanation:
To enable self-updating mode, the CAU clustered role must also be added to the failover cluster.
To do this by using the CAU UI, under Cluster Actions, use the Configure Self- Updating Options
action. Alternatively, run the Add-CauClusterRole Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
Note: The process for installing service packs and hotfixes on Windows Server 2012 differs from
the process in earlier versions. In Windows Server 2012, you can use the Cluster- Aware

Updating (CAU) feature. CAU automates the software-updating process on clustered servers
while maintaining availability.

You can configure the update schedule when you install the CAU role.

Add-CauClusterRole -ClusterName CONTOSO-FC1 -DaysOfWeek Tuesday,Saturday -WeeksOfMonth 2,4 -MaxFailedNodes 2 -MaxRetriesPerNode 2 -PostUpdateScript \\CONTOSOFileShare\scripts\verifyupdatesinstalled.ps1 -RequireAllNodesOnline –EnableFirewallRules -Force

Wusa is for manually dealing with individual updates.

Wuauclt can be used with /updatenow, but that’s not scheduled.

Invoke-causcan only lists updates need.

Invoke-caurun will scan and apply updates, but it’s not on here.
