+=== Check available updates ===
+This script enables you to check how many Windows updates there are available for the server.
+It does this by communicating with the Windows Update Agent API. It will check all applicable updates. I haven't been able to figure out how to check for critical updates only.
+
+As with the previous example, this script accepts none OR two arguments. Specifying only one or more then two arguments will return an error.[[BR]]
+If no arguments are given, only the applicable updates are returned as an 'OK' state. Specifying a warning and critical number will return a warning or a critical state if the amount of updates exceeds the threshold.
+
+==== Sample command ====
+{{{
+check_updates_available=scripts\check_updates_available $ARG1$ $ARG2$
+}}}
+
+{{{
+check_nrpe_updates_available,40 50
+OK: applicable updates: 1|'updates'=1;40;50;
+}}}
+
+==== Nagios configuration ====
+{{{
+define command {
+  command_name <<CheckUpdatesAvailable>>
+  command_line check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 5666 -c check_updates_available -a 40 50
+}
