WSUS 3.0 Reporting TS 7/3/2007 1:02:01 PM Is there a way to report an update history per device in WSUS? For Auditing reasons, I need the installation date of each update.

You can get the installation date of each update, individually, per machine, by running an Update Status Report, clicking on the Installed hyperlink, and the popup dialog will give you the installation date and time. You can also get it from the Update Detailed Status Report, which will allow you to filter on the type of update by Product, Classification, Group and Status (presumably "Installed"), whch will give you the same thing as the first option, except with all of your selected updates in a single report. The problem, of course, is that the installation data is buried in a drill-down popup, and not displayed on the report. To get an actual report of the installation dates you'll have to customize something using the API, or extract it from each client's logfile at %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\ReportingEvents.log. -- Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCTS, MCP Independent WSUS Evangelist MVP-Software Distribution (2005-2007) https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile=30E00990-8F1D-4774-BD62-D095EB07B36E Everything you need for WSUS is at http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/technologies/featured/wsus/default.mspx And, almost everything else is at http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com .....
