I running into a problem trying to get useful information about my computers.
I need to be able to use a txt file called computers.txt which has all my computers that I handle.
I need to be able to make sure it is on the network.
Then I need to check if there are any missing KB hotfixs from a master listing in a text file called master.txt which only has the KB listed.
If the target computer does not have a certain hotfix installed it would port out to a running result.txt file.
Need the format to be something like:
computername, KB111111
Computername, KB222222
once the task has been completed I can open with excel and do a pivot report to identify the patches that are not installed.
What I do right now is I do a very quick check on a computer using the following command: systeminfo | find "Hotfix(s)" so that I have a starting point. If the value is not equal to the magic number then I know I have a problem. Doing this on 500 plus machine is a bit of a pain.
If anyone has a VB or batch file that would do this please post.
Right now doing it the hard way due to the network restrictions.
