Windows Update History

[Guest]

I just have a quick question on Windows Updates. Is there anyway to get a
report of all updates that have been installed on a server? I have been
copying the HTML Update History data to a text file, clean it up and move
into a spreadsheed... But this process takes way too long. There has to be an
easier way.

Thanks in advance.

You can search the system event log for items from source "Windows Update
Agent" with category "Installation".

You might like to try using the EventCombMT tool to trawl the logs for you.
This is available as part of the Security Guide Scripts download from the
following link:

Hope this helps
