Find Installation Date of Windows Updates
Is it possible to find the date when windows updates were installed on windows server 2003?
If I go to the controlpanel->install/uninstall programs and check the "Show Updates" checkbox it will show the windows updates that have been installed, but I don't see the installation date anywhere.
Try looking in c:\windows\WindowsUpdate.log
You can also look here - %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\ReportingEvents.log.
In powershell you can do that : Get-WmiObject -Class "win32_quickfixengineering"
easy and fast .
From the command prompt, you can use the following wmic command to get a full list of the installed updates in html format:
wmic qfe list full /format:htable > hotfixes.html
If you prefer the csv format, use the /format:csv modifier instead:
wmic qfe list full /format:csv > hotfixes.csv
