You can look at the IIS logs and see when each patch was delivered to
each machine, but that doesn't tell you if the patch was truly
applied...  There is a utility that will parse the logs to give a
better/cleaner view of the data, but unfortunately I don't remember what
that is right now (somebody else jump in here please!)...  Supposedly
better reporting capabilities are one of the key features of SUES 2.0
which is scheduled for next year...

        Hi there

         

        Slightly off topic, I know, but everyone here seems to be quite
well versed with SUS SP1 so I would appreciate some info:

         

        -          Can SUS be configured to keep record of which
patches/hotfixes etc have been delivered to which workstations at which
time?

         

        It would be nice to have such a logfile so that one can keep
track of what your clients are doing. BTW, I know that the
%systemroot%\windows update.log keeps track of each client's respective
installation history, but this file is generated on each individual
workstation and not centralised on the server (as far as I can tell).

         

        Cheers

        William R.
