Pending Windows Update / Restarts

[Seb_Spiers]

Hi There,

I was wondering if it's possible to produce a dashboard item or report which lists servers which have Windows Updates pending for install, or a reboot pending after install.

This would be extremely useful.

Has it been added to LS yet to poll for this info?

The solution to check for "Updates need PC reboot" is to do few things:

1.) Make an group policy for adding 2 Computer Configuration>Preferences>Windows Settings>Registry entries.
2.) Make 2 entries
a.) First registry entry added by Domain policy (Just copy paste into the section)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Registry clsid="{9CD4B2F4-923D-47f5-A062-E897DD1DAD50}" name="RebootNeeded" status="RebootNeeded" image="11" changed="2019-10-15 13:12:22" uid="{B70ACCE8-D4CA-456F-BF56-BAB6CE3DDE31}" removePolicy="1" bypassErrors="1"><Properties action="R" displayDecimal="1" default="0" hive="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update" name="RebootNeeded" type="REG_DWORD" value="00000000"/><Filters><FilterRegistry bool="AND" not="1" type="KEYEXISTS" hive="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\RebootRequired" valueName="" valueType="" valueData="" min="0.0.0.0" max="0.0.0.0" gte="1" lte="0"/></Filters></Registry>

b) Second registry entry added by Domain policy: (Just copy paste into the section)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Registry clsid="{9CD4B2F4-923D-47f5-A062-E897DD1DAD50}" name="RebootNeeded" status="RebootNeeded" image="11" changed="2019-10-15 13:12:30" uid="{3240771F-1ABC-4AED-BD3F-5E7781C3C5F2}" removePolicy="1" bypassErrors="1"><Properties action="R" displayDecimal="1" default="0" hive="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update" name="RebootNeeded" type="REG_DWORD" value="00000001"/><Filters><FilterRegistry bool="AND" not="0" type="KEYEXISTS" hive="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\RebootRequired" valueName="" valueType="" valueData="" min="0.0.0.0" max="0.0.0.0" gte="1" lte="0"/></Filters></Registry>

3.) In Lansweeper add an entry to registry scanning
a.) RegPath= SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update
b.) RegValue= RebootNeeded

4.) Make this report (Obviously the Domain policy will have to be in affect and applied to the Windows PC's for the "Require Reboot?" results to show up.)

Select Top 1000000 tsysOS.Image As icon,
tblAssets.AssetID,

This feature is currently not included in Lansweeper. We will add this feature to our wish list. But we cannot assure you that this is going to be implemented. This is because we receive so many feature requests that we have to make a selection.
