Hi,
I'm looking for exact steps (point 1-x) regarding Configuration of Remote-updating mode in Cluster-Aware Updating. There are extra steps needed since this one involves connecting from remote PC to a cluster with CAU. Those options are needed when setting up Self-updating mode:
Microsoft covered Self-updating mode pretty well, but Remote-updating mode is just little here and little there:
"Remote-updating mode For this mode, a remote computer, which is called an Update Coordinator, is configured with the CAU tools. The Update Coordinator is not a member of the cluster that is updated during the Updating Run. From the remote computer, the administrator triggers an on-demand Updating Run by using a default or custom Updating Run profile. Remote-updating mode is useful for monitoring real-time progress during the Updating Run, and for clusters that are running on Server Core installations."
"You must install the Failover Clustering Tools as follows to support the different CAU updating modes:
To use CAU in self-updating mode, install the Failover Clustering Tools on each cluster node.
To enable remote-updating mode, install the Failover Clustering Tools on a computer that has network connectivity to the failover cluster."
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/failover-clustering/cluster-aware-updating
"Remote-updating Enables you to start an Updating Run at any time from a computer running Windows or Windows Server. You can start an Updating run through the Cluster-Aware Updating window or by using theInvoke-CauRun PowerShell cmdlet. Remote-updating is the default updating mode for CAU. You can use Task Scheduler to run the Invoke-CauRun cmdlet on a desired schedule from a remote computer that is not one of the cluster nodes."

This is some partial info. I'd need step by step configuration plus what you exactly do onremote PC vs what you do on a cluster with CAU. Firewall, remote management etc...
Thanks for your time!
