[feature request] Show only machines with (or without) a specific windows update

[James_K]

In the light of the Wcry ransomware I found that it would have been greatly beneficial to have the option to search for a specific windows update and then use that to find out if machines didnt have it.

Although you can pull a list of all updates it was a lot of work to check each asset when there is over 3000.

This is already an available feature in the application. Go to ‘ Actions > Windows Updates > Generate consolidated report of update history ‘ From there you have two options. You may enter the KB number or update title into the ‘Filter by title (include)’ section, or you may run the report for all installed updates with no filter. If you run the report for ALL updates, then when you get the results list you would simply sort by update title or KB number to see which machines do not have it. If you run the report to JUST include the particular update in question, then you’ll have your answer that way too.

Available already:

– select all hosts to test

– windows updates>generate consolidated of update history. Select for example last 10 days and enable the filter including all WannaCry KB (one per line) for the OS you have. check in the footer the number of raw match the number of hosts to be sure everyone gave an answer.

you will have which KB was installed (matching the Os version), installation status, and reboot status if not yet done

Edit: a bit too late 🙂

Thanks for pointing that out. I was fishing through all options and missed that one (off the bottom of my screen LOL) n00b error 😀
