This script connects to a WSUS 3.0 server on the machine where the script runs. This script can be adapted to connect to remote WSUS 3.0 servers by changing the GetUpdateServer() call to GetUpdateServer(<servername>, true|false), where <servername> is the name of the remote WSUS server, and true|false refers to the use of SSL to make the connection.
