Viewing WSUS Reports

In addition to using Reports to view your WSUS Server data, you can also run Reports to view data about
your WSUS Client Settings and WSUS Client State.
1. To view information about your WSUS Servers, click Reports | Machine Group Reports | Enterprise
Applications | Microsoft WSUS Reports.
2. Select WSUS Servers, and then click Run. The report lists your WSUS Servers and other information
about those machines.
VCM for WSUS Reports are run against the current data available in the CMDB, and therefore are only as
current as the last time that the data was collected. In addition, it may require time for the report to
generate based upon the volume or complexity of the data requested. For more information on how to
schedule and disseminate reports, see the online Help.
You may now begin to check Compliance on your collected data by creating rule groups, rules, filters, and
templates. See About Compliance
