Is it possible to find the date when windows updates were installed on windows server 2003?

If I go to the controlpanel->install/uninstall programs and check the "Show Updates" checkbox it will show the windows updates that have been installed, but I don't see the installation date anywhere.

I just checked on a handful of our 2003 servers, and they all list the installation date for all installed updates. What mechanism are you using to install these updates? WSUS? WU? SCCM? Downloading the installers individually? – Izzy Oct 13 '10 at 21:32
I was just using vanilla windows update with manual confirmation required to download/install. – Element Oct 13 '10 at 22:00

Try looking in c:\windows\WindowsUpdate.log

You can also look here - %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\ReportingEvents.log.

Psinfo -h will show you the dates of install as well. Psinfo is part of the Pstools goodies.
