Powershell script to force update many machines automatically

Our client has to regularly update Windows, SQL and IIS on 104 machines scattered on 10 Active Directories. They currently perform this task manually via WSUS, which means that their technician has to manually login to each VM, download updates, wait, install updates, wait again, reboot if needed, then logout, and do the same thing with the next VM. It takes a massive time and effort, and so they are looking to automate this process with a Powershell script that they can run manually to update all their VMs when needed. Here are more technical details on the context and requirements, please read carefully: - The 10 Active Directories are linked via a one-way trust relationship (1 trusted main domain and 9 trusting domains) - The script will be run from the trusted main domain - the script will run only when manually executed, it will not be scheduled - The script will prompt the technician to enter their admin login credential. If correct, then the script will run. - For each machine, the script will download and install all the updates available for Windows (security + critical patching), SQL and IIS. - The script will force reboot the VM at the end of the update sequence if required by one or more updates. - Only 4 VMs have a particular rebooting sequence, they will be communicated later on by the client - the script will deliver a report at the end of each run (summarizing what updates have been installed or failed on which machines) - the script will ignore if an update fails to download or install, it will just mention it in the report at the end of the run - the script must be adaptable by making a reference to a text file / CSV where all the target machine names are listed, this way the client can add/remove them. - the script will update up to 10 machines at a time only to avoid bandwidth overload. - The client has a management domain which will be used for testing before submitting UAT

I'm an IT Systems Administrator specializing in PowerShell development and automation in Windows/VMware/Hyper-V/O365 environments. I have a solid foundation in networking, server infrastructure, and datacenter architecture. While focusing my efforts on not duplicating work, I've gravitated towards PowerShell automation. With expertise in various IT areas, I've used PowerShell to automate and present complex tasks to empower lower-level IT professionals. I've automated many Systems Administrator/Engineer responsibilities including VM provisioning, Large-scale Active Directory management, Exchange and O365 management, and software deployment. I have also created reports for upper management in the forms of HTML web pages, emails, formatted Excel documents, and live dashboards using PowerShell. I'm very interested in further expanding my PowerShell knowledge, and using what I've learned so far to help you reach the deliverables on your next project. Thank you. Ever since 2016, I've fallen in love with the automation capabilities of PowerShell. You can use it to accomplish something quicker, or write a script so you never have to do it again.
