Microsoft Update Services WSUS API

I'm working with WSUS API, and i'm just a beginner in this.
I have configured WSUS in server 2008 machine. And i'm also getting the list of available updates. Now my work is to find every information of a particular patch with the help of WSUS API.
With the help of example provided in the WSUS API tool i'am able to extract the title, release date, category type and some other information. But these two information "downloadURL" of a patch and Target OS of a patch (what i meant is a particular patch is applicable for which OS for windows 7 x64 or for windows 8 x86 ??????) I'm not able to get. I tried looking in Iupdate interface but still no luck.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
The downloadURL(s) you should find in IUpdate -> DownloadContents -> IUpdateDownloadContent Entries
Check: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa386120(v=vs.85).aspx
For the targetOS, I am not so sure if there is a way to find out.

DynaTrace installation issue

During re-installation of Dyntrace I getting below error, Tried to google it but didn't find any appropriate solution.
When you say "re-installation" does it mean you hit the "Modify" option or did you install a 6.1 on an existing 6.0 installation?
Can you look at the Windows Event Log? Typically installers write error messages in the windows event log.
What I'Ve seen in the past is that some anti-virus software corrupated the msi file that people downloaded from our download servers. Can you try downloading it again? maybe from a different machien? You can get the current installers from here https://community.compuwareapm.com/community/display/EVAL/Step+1+-+Download+and+install+dynaTrace
Please also check out our community portal where we have a dedicated discussion forum for dynatrace related questions: https://community.compuwareapm.com/community/display/DTFORUM/dynaTrace+Forums+Home

As per the manual, the default setup for OSX TeamCity 10.X - In your terminal:

Redmine on Windows 8

Trying to install Redmine on Windows 8 on this tutorial. Getting this errors:
Tried Bitnami's installer too, but I already have IIS Web Server and don't need the bundled Apache webserver. The installer doesn't give me to choose it's components. It installs Apache by default. So, Bitnami's Redmine is not for me.
What am I missing?
Is there any other good bug & request tracking software? Please don't Google and advise me to some random results. Advise something that you used and really good as Redmine
Once you get the error above, make sure that new WebSite's AppPool has write access to site's folder on the harddrive to complete the install process.
Then open the website in a browser and the installation will complete.
Set security accordingly after the install completes.
Use WebIssues multi-platform bug & request tracking software that fits all your needs instead of Redmine.

Build new computer using Scripts

I would like to automate the process of setting up a new PC, this would include downloading and installing the latest windows and office updates; installing software from a network share (some software will require a restart so the script would need to be able to login and continue) adding PC to a domain and setting up local user accounts.
Is this possible and what would be the best scripting language to achieve this?
Check out nLite. Allows you to pre-configure many options, slipstream updates and service packs, etc.
The standard method in enterprise IT is the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT). Even if another OS deployment technique (SCCM, BigFix, SpecOps...) is used, the Windows images are often developed in MDT.
There is no better guide to getting started than Johan Arwidmark's book series "Deployment Fundamentals". There is also material at Windows Noob.
You could integrate Chocolatey, BoxStarter or Ninite for app management after the OS is deployed.
