Well, that's very close, yes. I can do a "Get-WUHistory -MaxDate xxx", and it shows me all the updates since the specified date. But I don't need the detail, only the last installed date. So I'd have to parse that output.
I will keep poking ... That value shows up when you look at Windows Updates in a Control Panel, so it has to be *somewhere*. :-) I just have to figure out where it is, and how to get it. Thanks!
