Exporting the List of installed Windows Security Updates on the Server

Recently found another method that doesn't require 3rd party software using wmic; just type: wmic qfe from the command line. The default output gives really long lines, so you might be better off redirecting to a file and viewing it in your favorite text editor.

Variations on a theme include:

• wmic qfe list full
• wmic qfe get HotfixID,ServicePackInEffect,InstallDate,InstalledBy,InstalledOn
• wmic qfe where "HotfixID = 'KB973687'"
• wmic qfe where "HotfixID = 'KB973687'" get HotfixID, InstallDate, InstalledBy, InstalledOn
• wmic qfe where "HotfixID = 'KB973687'" list full
• wmic /node:myserver qfe list full
