Is there anyway to see what version updates have been
applied to a server. Meaning when MS sends out a critical
update notification I want to be able to poll my servers
and see if MS034-023 (made up) patch has been applied or
not. Or just get a list of the patches that have been
applied to that particular server. I know in the registry
there is a section under SP# that shows KB0343242 or some
number like that but I don't know how to equate that to
the MS034... number.
 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\HotFix

or

#pragma namespace("\\\\.\\root\\CIMv2")
// Instance provider
instance of __Win32Provider as $InstProv
{
Name = "RegProv" ;
ClsId = "{fe9af5c0-d3b6-11ce-a5b6-00aa00680c3f}" ;
};
instance of __InstanceProviderRegistration
{
Provider = $InstProv;
SupportsPut = TRUE;
SupportsGet = TRUE;
SupportsDelete = FALSE;
SupportsEnumeration = TRUE;
};
[dynamic, provider("RegProv"),
ClassContext("local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows
NT\\CurrentVersion\\Hotfix")
]
class HotFixes
{
[key]
string QNumber;
[PropertyContext("Installed")]
uint32 Installed;
};
