We are currently using WSUS on a mix of 2008 and 2008R2 servers. What I am looking for is a good way to report back to myself and Management the current state of patching on servers across serveral domains and sites. I know WSUS has some but they really arin't up to scratch. How is everyone doing this? Thanks Darren. | |||

The wsus reports are ok but simple and don't give anything like an overview for multiple domains. Are you aware of the wsus rollup reporting tool? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/wsus/bb466192 If you can pull everything into a single server then using reporting services or even excel would allow you to put together your own reports as you wanted. Patchaholic has some good info on doing this yourself: http://msmvps.com/blogs/athif/archive/category/2169.aspx Other than that you are looking at an MSP type management solution like kaseya or labtech, to name just two. There are a lot of them out there but you're talking quite a bit of cash annually as they independently scan each node and not the wsus server. Ian | |||
