checking kb installed

[powtrix]

Hi, is possible I check if a KBxyz is installed on local machine?

possibles:
- check registry key (where they are)
- log --> %windir%\KB"xyz".log
-> any command returning 0 / 1 errorlevel.

doing that, i could update my machines remotly.
tks.

Among other solutions available (and depending upon your OS) -

wmic qfe

.... or more elaborate -

wmic qfe get hotfixid | find "930178" 1>nul && echo Installed || echo
Not installed [or error]!

For some reason when I invoke wmic (with any paramters) it does nothing
(until I abort it with Ctrl-Break). Even the help command behaves this way:

wmic /?

This should work, according to
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/wmic.mspx

Any ideas?

I've not experienced that particular condition. In your shoes, I'd
first try and determine the state of the WMI repository, see -

winmgmt /salvagerepository

.... and depending on the results, perhaps use some of the other WINMGMT
switches to perform the actual repair.
