Honestly Geoff, we use custom reports for what you are asking. We have two reports, broken down by PC and by patch that list most of what you covered. ConfigMgr has the data, but may not always be the best about providing it out of the box. We prefer to write those reports we need ourselves.

Compliance 2 - Specific software update requires multiple steps. First, enter a collection and a filter for the specific update (instead of selecting a singular update from a list), run the report, select the update, select "update is required", then it shows the list of devices. Not very quick. I'm not trying to be difficult, I'm asking out of lack of experience. WSUS has a much easier "at a glance" view for the updates a PC needs, or what PCs need an update. Just seems convoluted in SCCM. Daniel: I may end up just using that, however we added a bunch of new devices to SCCM and I was hoping to be a little more diplomatic in bringing these devices into patch compliance. The point I was trying to convey is from that window is there a way to select an update and just see a list of the PCs that do not have it installed? If that's not available, I can go through the compliance reports under the monitoring tab. I just was figuring there was a "fewer steps" process to get the desired result. Otherwise it's going into the monitoring tab, running report after report against every single update, and two steps later finally getting a list of devices for that update. Again, I wasn't trying to be smart or difficult, I *just* began patching via SCCM this week and am still figuring my way around. Thank you both for replying.

In WSUS it's fairly straightforward to just click on an update or PC and get the resulting list. I'm not seeing anything similar in the SCCM console. I ran the various Software Updates reports (Compliance, Deployment Mgmt, Deployment States, etc.). None of them seem to allow the simple selection of a single update, or a single computer and see the compliance state. Do people still rely on the WSUS console for this? Or is there a better place to look for this? We migrated a bunch of workstations to this domain and so their compliance statuses are all over the place. I could push out all updates at once, but I was hoping to determine which machines require which updates. I did hijack a SQL query that gives a full list of every update for every PC (but it's 1,500+ rows). I thought there might be a way from within the SCCM console to get the same visual. Thanks.
