Reporting: Which computers have not received the udpate? Sande 11/13/2008 6:52:01 PM Until we hire a new Windows Server Administrator, I'm temporarily approving updates on our WSUS 3.0 SP1 server, so this may seem like a really basic question. Our last admin showed me the basic operation of WSUS, but there is information I cannot find. For any specific update, I can see the "Update Detailed Status Report" which tells me "The update is needed by 37 computers". But how do I find out which 37 computers those are? I couldn't find any reports with more details than this. I went through the Microsoft Virtual Lab training for WSUS, but I didn't see this information there either. -- Sande Nissen PC Systems Administrator Carleton College Northfield, MN

But how do I find out > which > 37 computers those are? For a status report built directly from a specific update, the list of computers affected, and their status vis-a-vis that update, can be found on pages 2 through n-1 of the report. For the Detailed Updates Status Report built from the reports node, which contains results for multiple updates, the list of computers affected and their status will be found on pages 2, 4, 6, 8, etc. of the report. Pages 1, 3, 5, 7, etc. are the summary information for each update; pages 2, 4, 6, 8, etc. list the specific systems affected, and their status. -- Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCITP(x2), MCTS(x5), MCP(x7), MCBMSP Principal/CTO, Onsite Technology Solutions, Houston, Texas Microsoft MVP - Software Distribution (2005-2009) MS WSUS Website: http://www.microsoft.com/wsus My Websites: http://www.onsitechsolutions.com; http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com My MVP Profile: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Lawrence.Garvin
