Report - find if 2 MS KBs are installed

[peled]

Hello all

We are intenndig to work with GPO Preferences on our windowsXP SP2 clients.

I must check if microsoft KB915865 and KB943729 are installed on all the workstations (about 1100 WS).

 

The build in SCCM reports (Software Update states) are not giving us the right status.

 

Any other ideas?

 

Thanks

Do you know why the software updates reports are not giving you the proper status?

 

Failing that, I'd recommend creating a Desired Configuration Management (DCM) rule to perform the validation locally on each client, and then send the status up to the SCCM site. DCM configuration items (CIs) are easy to run compliance reports against. You'll have to find some sort of criteria on your own to validate that the updates are installed (eg. existence of a file or registry value, or maybe a WMI query).

 

Hope this helps.

 

Cheers,

Trevor Sullivan
