In Windows Server 2003, you can review the installed system updates by simply exporting the following registry path below to a .reg file and look at it's contents by dropping it into notepad. It will provide you a complete list of the corresponding update's Knowledge Base Article Number (KB#). HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Update How is this done in Server 2008? When I attempt to export the same path to a .reg file and review it in notepad, it looks completely different. It doesn't indicate the installed KB# nor does it provide a comprehensive list of installed udpates. I'm sure that there has to be away to do this in Server 2008. If not, is there a way of reporting the installed updates other than through the server's local View-update-history tool? Although the View-update-history tool does provide me with a comprehensive view of all updates installed, it doesn't provide me with a means of exporting the view to a report. I need to be able to have something I can work with - and taking a screen shot isn't going to cut it. Thanks
