Undoing the Last Installed Windows Updates via Command Line


Using the command line, how can I undo the last installed windows updates?



Answer



Windows Updates should create a System Restore Point before installing the update, so you should be able to roll back to that.


How to restore Windows XP to a previous state describes the steps to rollback to a restore point and although is obviously Windows XP specific, the process should be similar for Server 2003.


Note that you can launch the System Restore GUI from a command prompt


%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

but I'm not sure if it's possible to execute an actual restore this way.
