Status report for Software Update deployments
Spending some time in other communities often gives me a lot of good ideas to reports and queries. A little while ago in the System Center Technet community I stumbled over a very need report created by a user called Qu4rk. His report shows a status of each update deployment, with a count of the each possible software update states. The only thing I have changed (thanks to Claus) is a new column showing the compliant computers in %. I am not going to take any credit for the report as my work was very limited. But this report is way to cool to be forgotten, and I am sure that it will help most of you.
The SQL code:
Select Deploymentname, Available, Deadline,
cast(cast(((cast([Compliant] as float) / (ISNULL([Compliant], 0) + ISNULL([Enforcement state unknown], 0) + ISNULL([Successfully installed update(s)], 0) + ISNULL([Failed to install update(s)], 0) + ISNULL([Installing update(s)], 0) + ISNULL([Waiting for another installation to complete], 0) + ISNULL([Pending system restart], 0) + ISNULL([Downloading update(s)], 0)))*100) as Numeric(10,2)) as varchar(256)) + ‘%’ AS ‘% Compliant’,
[Compliant],
[Enforcement state unknown],
[Successfully installed update(s)],
[Failed to install update(s)],
[Installing update(s)],
[Waiting for another installation to complete],
[Pending system restart],
[Downloading update(s)]
From
(select
a.AssignmentName as DeploymentName,
a.StartTime as Available,
a.EnforcementDeadline as Deadline,
sn.StateName as LastEnforcementState,
count(*) as NumberOfComputers
from v_CIAssignment a
join v_AssignmentState_Combined assc
on a.AssignmentID=assc.AssignmentID
join v_StateNames sn
on assc.StateType = sn.TopicType and sn.StateID=isnull(assc.StateID,0)
group by a.AssignmentName, a.StartTime, a.EnforcementDeadline,
sn.StateName) as PivotData
PIVOT
(
SUM (NumberOfComputers)
FOR LastEnforcementState IN
( [Compliant],
[Enforcement state unknown],
[Successfully installed update(s)],
[Failed to install update(s)],
[Installing update(s)],
[Waiting for another installation to complete],
[Pending system restart],
[Downloading update(s)])
) AS pvt

Hi,
Can you add add one more thing to this report? I haven’t learned how to “work” software updates reports…
Would be nice to have a link from this report to “Compliance 4 – Deployment (per update)” report. This way, you can from here to a detailed report of a specific deployment.
Thanks!
