is there a way to run a report for installed windows updates/patches for a particular month?

I need to be able to pull out reports of any windows patch/update that gets installed in each month. for example, I would need to know which patches got installed for the month of March. Then I would run another report to know the report of June and so on. I have the latest version of PDQ Inventory Pro.

 

 

thank you.

    Sure, there is a way.

    Create a copy of "Security hotfixes report", then modify it by adding a value filter:

    Hotfix > Installed on > Between > value "Relative date" set it to 30 days ago.

    When you run the report on the first day of the month, you get your result.

    Note: I am not attaching a ready made filter on purpose. Its the easy way, but I want you to learn how to use it by your self so next time when someone asks, you can be the one answering the question. ;-)

    the default security hotfix report only shows hotfixes that are in the "security category" so I removed that because I want to see all updates that get installed in the last 30 days. I then added that "installed on" filter and tested it. everything works perfectly.

    P.S> just want to confirm, the hotfix query does show all the patches/updates/service packs under the "see installed updates" section in windows add/remove programs correct? just want to make sure I did this right.

    thanks for your help.
