þÿ#Example Script to remove an Orphaned update from WSUS

#Greg Ramsey - ramseyg@hotmail.com



#Run this from WSUS for central site server



#Load .NET assembly

[reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration")



#Connect to WSUS server

$wsusrv = [Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.AdminProxy]::GetUpdateServer()



#Get all the non-microsoft updates 

$otherupdates = $wsusrv.GetUpdates() | select * | ? {$_.UpdateSource -ne "MicrosoftUpdate"}



#This is an ugly way to do it, but the only way I could.

#Look to see if there's an update with the unique guid "28b65392-0beb-44b9-bf77-eb8e8e8c2d8a" - and display the info

$otherupdates | % {if ($_.id.updateid.tostring() -eq "28b65392-0beb-44b9-bf77-eb8e8e8c2d8a") {$wsusrv.GetUpdate($_.id)}}



#Expire the Update with unique ID = "28b65392-0beb-44b9-bf77-eb8e8e8c2d8a"

$otherupdates | % {if ($_.id.updateid.tostring() -eq "28b65392-0beb-44b9-bf77-eb8e8e8c2d8a") {$wsusrv.ExpirePackage($_.id)}}
