How do you check for Windows Updates on Windows Server 2008 R2? I have searched around on the machine and can't find where I run a check.

If you press F1, it will bring up the help system that will point you to this. Google will too. – SpacemanSpiff Jun 5 '11 at 22:04

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Update >Check for Updates

OR

Just type "Windows Update" into the search bar in the start menu.

OR as KCotreau pointed out

Start > All Programs > Windows Update

If you're looking to do this from the command line or from with scripts, the command I use on Server 2003 is wuauclt /detectnow and I know of no reason that shouldn't work on 2008.
