Description

Installs patches on the VM

Examples

Example 1

Invoke-AzVmInstallPatch -ResourceGroupName 'MyRG' -VmName 'MyVM' -Windows -RebootSetting 'never' -MaximumDuration PT2H -ClassificationToIncludeForWindows Critical

This example installs critical patches on the VM.

Example 2

$myVM = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName 'MyRG' -Name 'MyVM'
Invoke-AzVmInstallPatch -VM $myVM -MaximumDuration "PT90M" -RebootSetting "Always" -Windows -ClassificationToIncludeForWindows "Security" -KBNumberToInclude ["KB1234567", "KB123567"] -KBNumberToExclude ["KB1234702", "KB1234802"] -ExcludeKBsRequiringReboot

This example passes a PSVirtualMachine object to '-VM' parameter. It also installs security patches while including and excluding certain KBs by using '-KBNumberToExclude' and '-KBNumberToInclude'. It also excludes KBs that require reboot by using '-ExcludeKBsRequiringReboot'.

Example 3

$myLinuxVM = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName 'MyRG' -Name 'MyLinuxVM'
Invoke-AzVMInstallPatch -ResourceId $myLinuxVM.id -MaximumDuration "PT90M" -RebootSetting "Always" -Linux -ClassificationToIncludeForLinux "Security" -PackageNameMaskToInclude ["package123"] -PackageNameMaskToExclude ["package567"]

This example installs certain packages to the Linux VM provided by Resource ID.
