What's the best method of querying the list of all installed updates (all updates that show up in the Control Panel UI)? I want to create a configuration item to either use Powershell or WMI to check if a particular Lync update (KB2842627) is installed. On my test machine which has it installed, when I look at Installed Updates through Control Panel, it lists 5 Lync updates including the one I'm looking for.
[cid:[email protected]] However, if I run the following Powershell script (I found it online and modified it to only show Lync updates) on that same computer, I don't get the results I'm expecting. It only returns 1 Lync update (Security Update for Lync 2010 X64 (KB2843160) | MS13-054). I'm trying to figure out why it would show one but not the others? If there's a better way to obtain that information programmatically, I'm open to suggestions. Function Get-InstalledUpdates($title) { $UpdateSession = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.Session $SearchResult = $null $UpdateSearcher = $UpdateSession.CreateUpdateSearcher() $UpdateSearcher.Online = $true $SearchResult = $UpdateSearcher.Search("IsInstalled=1 and Type='Software'") $i = 1 foreach($Update in $SearchResult.Updates) { If ($Update.Title -like "*$title*") { Write-Host "$i) $($Update.Title + " | " + $Update.SecurityBulletinIDs)" $i += 1 } } } cls Get-InstalledUpdates("Lync") Thanks! ________________________________ IRS Compliance: Any tax advice contained in this communication (including any attachments) is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding penalties imposed under the Internal Revenue Code or applicable state or local tax law or (ii) promoting, marketing, or recommending to another party any transaction or matter addressed herein. ________________________________ Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail is intended only for the addressee named above.
