A.
the Add-CauClusterRole cmdlet

B.
the Wusa command

C.
the Wuauclt command

D.
the Invoke-CauScan cmdlet

Explanation:
To enable self-updating mode, the CAU clustered role must also be added to the failover cluster. To
do this by using the CAU UI, under Cluster Actions, use the Configure Self-Updating Options action.
Alternatively, run the Add-CauClusterRole Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
Note: The process for installing service packs and hotfixes on Windows Server 2012 differs from the
process in earlier versions. In Windows Server 2012, you can use the Cluster-Aware Updating (CAU)
feature. CAU automates the software-updating process on clustered servers while maintaining
availability.

    The Add-CauClusterRole cmdlet adds the Cluster-Aware Updating (CAU) clustered role that provides the self-updating functionality to the specified cluster. When the CAU clustered role has been added to a cluster, the failover cluster can update itself on the schedule that is specified by the user, without requiring an external computer to coordinate the cluster updating process.

    The Invoke-CauScan cmdlet performs a scan of cluster nodes for applicable updates and returns a list of the initial set of updates that would be applied to each node in a specified cluster. Generating the list might take a few minutes.
    Note: The preview list includes only an initial set of updates. The list does not include updates that might become applicable only after the initial updates are installed.
