I was troubleshooting some issues and I needed a way to collect an overview of Windows Updates installed on a couple of machines and after some digging around I found the following command line:

gwmi Win32_QuickFixEngineering | select Description, Hotfixid

But because I had to run this command on several different machines and wanted the information in one logfile I had to search for the Win32_QuickFixEnginereering properties to see if there’s a property which can make the results unique. On the MS technet site I found the following description:

Table 8.11 Win32_QuickFixEngineering Properties

So I added the CSName property and a location to write the results to and I had a good listing of all windows updates installed:

gwmi Win32_QuickFixEngineering | select CSName, Description, Hotfixid  >> \\contoso.local\NETLOGON\VersionControl.txt
