Dashboard - windows update

[bostjanc]

Is there a way on Lansweeper Dashboard to get information regarding clients Windows update status?
We would like to be informed if anyone has put Windows updates ON/OFF.
With best regards,

This is not scanned by default. You could you custom registry scanning in order to scan these values on target computer's registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update, Value AUOptions
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update, Value NoAutoUpdate

For details on the values stored in this registry key, have a look at this Microsoft page.

After setting up Lansweeper to scan these values, you could generate a report like the following which lists the auto update status on your computers. On your Dashboard, add a Data Report Widget and let it display this report.

Select Top 1000000 tblAssets.AssetID,
  tblAssets.AssetName,
  tsysAssetTypes.AssetTypename,
  tsysAssetTypes.AssetTypeIcon10 As icon,
  tblAssets.IPAddress,
  tblAssets.Lastseen,
  tblAssets.Lasttried,
  Case tAUOptions.Value When 2 Then 'notify before download'
    When 3 Then 'automatically download and notify of installation'
    When 4 Then 'automatic download and scheduled installation'
    When 5 Then 'automatic updates is required, but end users can configure it'
    Else 'unkown' End As [AU options],
  Case tNoAutoUpdate.Value When 1 Then 'disable automatic updates'
    When 0 Then 'enable automatic updates' Else 'unkown' End As [No auto-update]
From tblAssets
  Inner Join tblAssetCustom On tblAssets.AssetID = tblAssetCustom.AssetID
  Inner Join tsysAssetTypes On tsysAssetTypes.AssetType = tblAssets.Assettype
  Left Join (Select tblRegistry.AssetID,
    tblRegistry.Value
  From tblRegistry
  Where tblRegistry.Valuename Like 'auoptions') tAUOptions
    On tblAssets.AssetID = tAUOptions.AssetID
  Left Join (Select tblRegistry.AssetID,
    tblRegistry.Value
  From tblRegistry
  Where tblRegistry.Valuename Like 'noautoupdate') tNoAutoUpdate
    On tblAssets.AssetID = tNoAutoUpdate.AssetID
Where tblAssetCustom.State = 1 And tblAssets.Assettype = -1
