I need help figuring this patches applied issue I’m having. I need a report for auditors to view when the last time any Microsoft patch was a applied to a server. We don’t patch on a regular basis and were new to the whole Bigfix patching piece. So I wouldn’t be doing a Data Base query against the Bigfix since patches weren’t being applied to these servers by Bigfix. I came up with this so far on the local server:
Dir /A:H /OD $* > c:\patch.txt
using a Dir command on the server to filter out to $* directories then pipe them to a file this will then tell me when each patch was applied.
Please any help with this or if someone already built a report for this would be helpful.
Thanks for the link yes going forward since we now have BES agents on all devices this is a great report. The only issue is that this will only work on post Bigfix with fixlets and not previous like 5 years ago what was patched. I was able to use another tool to pull this information so we are good for now. I did want to know how can I run the report you created to a signal server. We have ITIL and Change management in place so they audit any changes against a signal server periodically. Other then creating a manual group and adding just one server is there a way to use your report.
I see the modified report and I can now select a signal device which is great. The issue I’m having now any device I select and run a report against I get no information back just a blank header with not fixlet history. I run the same report using the group knowing the device I’m looking for is in a sample group and it comes back with lots of fixlet history. Please help since this is the report I need for auditing but seems not to work with a signal device now.
Can anyone tell me why I get this error below from WebReport v8.1.608 when trying to import any FixletFixDatebyComputerGroupWithDateAndFixletNameSearch.besrpt or any .besrpt extension?
Invalid Web Report XML File: Unexpected element: style
But I don’t have issue with any .beswrpt extension.
