I have tried to run this script to remove folders of the same type mentioned in this article unsuccessfully. One many of the systems in my shop have the long encrypted file names but in subdirectories are i386 and amd64. In the script I tried to change "update" to make one of the other search criteria with no luck. I even added an update folder to one of the machines at question. The script returns 0 to be deleted. Not sure what I am doing wrong. ]]>ToRise...Wed, 03 Nov 2010 17:38:58 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/windows-powershell/delete-junk-folders-created-by-sms#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/vbscript/powershell-script-lets-you-check-patches-status#commentsAnchorWed, 28 Apr 2010 21:21:13 GMT
The script doesn’t seem to check the office patches. for example: KB953404. Is there a way to check office patches?

Thanks

Nice script, but is missing one small but very important piece. This script indicates if the patch has been installed, but it does not report on whether the machine has been rebooted to complete the installation (if this is required, and it usually is). So this could be reporting that a patch is installed, but it may not be complete. There is a reg key that is set after a patch install(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\UpdateExeVolatile) which indicates whether a reboot is required or not.]]>Spuddie Mon, 21 Dec 2009 09:21:47 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/vbscript/powershell-script-lets-you-check-patches-status#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/vbscript/does-sus-make-you-want-to-send-an-sos-#commentsAnchorThu, 16 Jul 2009 10:35:38 GMT
I contacted James Lim about your question. He noted that he converted this script from VBScript to PowerShell. The PowerShell version reads multiple kb numbers. I put the PowerShell version of the script (kblist.ps1) in the 46953.zip file, which you can obtain by clicking the "Download the Code Here" button at the top of the page. The kblist.ps1 script includes the syntax you’d use to launch it. Hope this new script helps. Thanks for reading Windows IT Pro!

Hi i like the script, it’s wonderful. Is it possible to check multiple kb numbers instead of just one. Appreciate if you could help me with this thanks heaps kasukur]]>SriFri, 03 Jul 2009 01:35:15 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/vbscript/does-sus-make-you-want-to-send-an-sos-#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/vbscript/powershell-script-lets-you-check-patches-status#commentsAnchorThu, 25 Jun 2009 07:47:09 GMT
I’m sorry, but your article starts from an invalid premis. "Because SUS doesn’t have any reporting tools, it’s difficult to determine which machines aren’t patched. ". I run several WSUS servers and I have all of them set up to send regular reports on the status of all the computers they are responsible for. This is a built in function available at the reports icon in the left hand pane.]]>KenThu, 25 Jun 2009 07:47:09 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/vbscript/powershell-script-lets-you-check-patches-status#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/vbscript/powershell-script-lets-you-check-patches-status#commentsAnchorWed, 21 Jan 2009 10:37:12 GMT
James Lim modified the kb.ps1 script to redirect the results to a text file. You can find the modified script--kb_modify.ps1--in the 97609.zip file, which you can download by clicking the "Download the Code Here" button at the top of the page.

I emailed James Lim about your suggestion on how to improve the script. I’m hoping that he’ll let us know how adapt the script so that it redirects the output to a file.

I am wondering why wouldn’t this be redirected to a file , even to a csv. It would be so much more useful. Just my two cents Thanks for the script!]]>TonyWed, 10 Dec 2008 15:12:20 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/vbscript/powershell-script-lets-you-check-patches-status#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/vbscript/automatically-delete-old-files#commentsAnchorMon, 31 Mar 2008 14:50:47 GMT

Great, I changed echo lines into one line like: For Each objItem In colItems WScript.Echo "Current Login User on Computer " & strComputer & " is " & objItem.UserName In that way, you don’t have to click "OK" multiple times when you call the script without "cscript" Also note that if a firewall blocks port 135/tcp between admin’s machine and remote machine, it won’t work. I wish someone will improve this script with input area for computer name. I guess it shouldn’t be too hard to do for experienced script person. (not me;) Thanks.]]>KyawWed, 02 Aug 2006 13:28:59 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/vbscript/quickly-detect-who-is-logged-on-to-your-remote-machines#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/microsoft-management-console-mmc/dsmod-exe-improvement#commentsAnchorThu, 18 May 2006 17:17:50 GMT
