Scritpting Windows Update question

I'm scripting Windows Update as part of a system deployment process using the
API. One thing that I noticed is, when I use the UpdateSearcher method with
"IsInstalled=0 and Type='Software'" it will list ALL updates irrespective of
that update's priority.

I've searched http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...26(VS.85).aspx
for anything that would indicate the ability to search for "high-priority"
updates only. But, I didn't find anything; or I don't know what I'm looking
for.

Is it possible specify that only crtical updates or security updates (as
they are classfied on WSUS 3.0) when scripting WU?

Thank you

Ted

Well, there's nothing like answering your own question. Sheesh. Sorry
folks. Thick skull here. Two days of searching and I just have to learn to
link up my properties and methods using the msdn website.

Ok:

IUpdate::MsrcSeverity Property

The MsrcSeverity property retrieves the Microsoft Security Response Center
severity rating of the update.

Property values are: Critical, Important, Moderate, Low
