Complete Hotfix listing

[markettm]

Hey everyone, wasn't sure which forumn to post this question.

Does anyone know where I can get a complete listing of every single hotfix, security rollup, etc for Windows 2003 and 2000 servers?

Can't believe there's no complete listing in a download format from MS's site.

I'm trying to build a complete list from the ground up to show the hotfix/security patch number, which OS it applies to, which portion of the software it applies to and then I'll add a column in indicating whether I approved it or not for installation.

Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance!

You probably are leaning towards SUS.
Here you can download patches for different operating systems, languages and so on ... and you are also able to only roll out the patches which you have approved in front.

To build some kind of manual list of all the updates ever released is totally unneccessary. The SUS service will build this list for you.

Thanks Tupliphead, I've got WSUS set up now. I can see a listing of what's there, but not in the format I want. Was hoping for a nice .csv format.

Oh well, I'll work with what WSUS can give me. Thanks again!

Mike you can also install MBSA 2.0 which will analyze your machine and tell you what patches are missing.

There's also one very easy way, go onto Windows Update website, and click on review your update history on the left hand side.
