Compliance Report for Servers/Workstations

[gdavid]

I asked for this during 4.1. not sure if anything has changed or if there is a better way than my manual reports.

I'd love to see a baseline report/patch report:

I want to take all the workstations and/or servers and add all the software/patches i expect to see in my base build list. each patch Tuesday i want to update my list to see which machines are missing particular patch items.

There is no easy way to do this in SQL and such a report would be inaccurate as well. A machine may be "missing" certain updates that were actually installed as part of a service pack.

understood.
however i'm not looking to report on patches that are not installed necessarily.

example:
i want to create a baseline (use one machine fully patched).
and compare it to all other workstations to see which workstations don't match my baseline.

Currently, you need to manually create reports for this. Lansweeper only scans updates that are already installed; it doesn't track which updates are required.
