Hi Everyone,

Starting from this month, I'll be publishing a new report every month which checks if assets in your network are on the latest Windows monthly rollup update. If you want more information about what is included in this update, feel free to visit the related blog post.

This report will check if your assets are on the latest released monthly rollup KB update. It's color-coded to give you an easy and quick overview which assets are already on the latest Windows update.

Instructions to add this report to your Lansweeper installation can be found here: https://www.lansweeper.com/forum/yaf_postst9882_How-to-run-a-report.aspx

V2 changelog:
  • Changed the report to use Windows build number instead of version to support Lansweeper versions before 6.0.230.
  • Added a Patch status column.
  • Excluded Windows XP and Windows 7 (without service pack 1) from the report.

I get the following:

"Invalid column name 'Version'. Invalid column name 'Version'. Invalid column name 'Version'. Invalid column name 'Version'. Invalid column name 'Version'. Invalid column name 'Version'. Invalid column name 'Version'. Invalid column name 'Version'"

Is this a version issue? I have not yet updated to the latest Lansweeper version.

Running version v. 6.0.151.34

I'm running the latest version of Lansweeper (7.0.30.66) and the report runs fine on mine.

This works fine for me. However, I have a couple of requests please!

1. Could you add into the report an exclusion for the Windows OS's that are no longer receiving updates?, ie 2003, XP etc. It would be nice if this were included as, unfortunately, some of us still have some of this legacy stuff around and it would be a pain to edit the report every month.

2. Could the colour coding also relate to a column that shows Patched/Not Patched or Up to date/Out of date or something similar? This would make it super easy to filter and find out how many devices left need patching.

Good work on this! This will help us out TONS!

I like your approach but the report has to be modified every months, what i did for years with Lansweeper is create SQL table with a powershell script that fetch all microsoft patch each month (KB, NAME, DATE, OS etc) and compare with the current installs in LS, then i use PowerBI to validate the missing patches.

A similar approach would be really usefull directly in Lansweeper, where LS would fetch MS patchs KB and compare.. its a bit of a maintenance but a life saver.

Have fun!.

For anyone trying to run this report, since scanning Windows 10 version numbers was added in Lansweeper 6.0.230. This report will only work when you have Lansweeper 6.0.230 or higher

Updated the report so it works on older version too now.

can confirm it is working properly on our instance running version 6.0.230.48

Is there a link to the latest 6.0.230 version? Autoupdate shows me I am running the latest version already at v. 6.0.151.34 and the beta link is now at 7.0.100.5

Thank you for the feedback. I'll take it into consideration for next month.

This sounds very interesting and would indeed be much easier. But as you mentioned it would include a lot of modifications on the user's side. The goal here is to try and offer it to as many people as possible and keep the barrier to entry low.

So... this thread shows a report that us common types can't run, because we can't download the required version to play?

I'm in the same boat, where I only see 6.0.151.34 as the latest available version.
Charles, you tease you...
