DESCRIPTION


The Get-Cauplugin cmdlet retrieves information about one or more software updating plug-ins that are registered on the local computer. A plug-in can be specified or
information can be retrieved about all registered plug-ins.

CAU always uses a plug-in when performing updates. The default is the Microsoft.WindowsUpdatePlugin plug-in. This plug-in communicates with the Windows Update agent, the
same software that is used when updates are downloaded from Windows Update or Microsoft Update, or from a Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server. For more information
about how plug-ins work in CAU, see the content about Cluster-Aware Updating plug-ins.
