Install Lenovo Updates - Windows Workstations

Overview​

Automates the installation of Lenovo system updates on supported workstations. If no variables are configured, the component will simply return the list of available updates.

Important Notes​

  • Forceful reboots: BIOS/firmware updates initiate hardware-level restarts that bypass -NoReboot parameter controls
  • Maintenance windows: Schedule updates during planned downtime to avoid disruption
  • Power continuity: Ensure uninterrupted power supply during firmware updates
  • Unattended requirement: Type-based installations only process updates supporting silent installation
  • ID exceptions: Updates installed by ID ignore unattended installation requirements
  • Parameter Handling: If both Type and Id parameters are specified, the Type parameter will take precedence.
