Is it possible to do the following run Microsft Update for a remote computer
and get a list of all Microsoft Windows and Office patches and the date they
were installed.

If you can't run microsft update remotley is there a script that can be
created to do this?

Hello,

Thanks for posting!

I suggest you use Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2.0.

Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) 2.0 is an easy-to-use tool that
helps small and medium businesses determine their security state in
accordance with Microsoft security recommendations and offers specific
remediation guidance. Improve your security management process by using
MBSA to detect common security misconfigurations and missing security
updates on your computer systems. Built on the Windows Update Agent and
Microsoft Update infrastructure, MBSA ensures consistency with other
Microsoft management products including Microsoft Update (MU), Windows
Server Update Services (WSUS), Systems Management Server (SMS) and
Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM). Used by many leading third party
security vendors including Tivoli, Patchlink and Citadel, MBSA on average
scans over 3 million computers each week. Join the thousands of users that
depend on MBSA for analyzing their security state.

Belarc Advisor will list the installed date of hotfixes as long as the hotfix
uninstall folder still remains in the %systemroot% folder.
