In a workgroup environment, no domain, no group policy, cannot configure registry key on the client.

From my management machine I want to run a powershell script to download patches from a specific patch group in wsus onto this new machine and install the patches.

How can I achieve this with Powershell?
How do I approve patches using powershell.
