      Sqlrun03.msi InstanceName=WSUS BlankSAPwd=1 Reboot=ReallySuppress DisableNetworkProtocols=1 DisableAgentStartup=1 DisableThrottle=1

      Notes
      • If you want to specify the drive letter where the database instance will be located, add the DataDir = Path argument to the command. Path is the path of the target folder in the file system.
      • This command implies that the WSUS database will have a blank password. However, during the actual installation of WSUS, a randomly generated password is set. You do not have to specify a password.
      • The command is not case sensitive.
   5. Start the MSSQL$WSUS service. To do this, click Start, click Run, type Services.msc, right-click MSSQL$WSUS, and then click Start. If the service is not listed, rerun the command in step 2d of this procedure.
