Hack 82 Enumerate Installed Hotfixes

Here's a script you can use to
list all hotfixes installed on a machine.

Ever wish you could quickly and
easily look at a computer and find
out which hotfixes were installed, when they were installed, and by
whom? Here is a sample script that shows you how to accomplish this;
if you know VBScript and WMI, you can customize it further as
necessary. This script will enumerate the installed hotfixes on a
computer and display the output in a message box.

The following items will be displayed about each installed patch: the
name of the computer on which the hotfix is installed, the
description of the hotfix, the hotfix ID, the installation date, and
who installed the hotfix.

The Code

Type the following code into Notepad (with Word Wrap disabled) and
save it with a .vbs extension as
EnumerateHotfixes.vbs:

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colQuickFixes = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_QuickFixEngineering")
For Each objQuickFix in colQuickFixes
Wscript.Echo "Computer: " & objQuickFix.CSName & vbCrlf &_
"Description: " & objQuickFix.Description & vbCrlf &_
"Hotfix ID: " & objQuickFix.HotFixID & vbCrlf &_
"Installation Date: " & objQuickFix.InstallDate & vbCrlf &_
"Installed By: " & objQuickFix.InstalledBy & vbCrlf
Next

Running the Hack

Open a command prompt, change to the directory in which the script is
located, and type cscript.exe
EnumerateHotfixes.vbs. Figure 9-1 shows
sample output from running the script.

To ensure the script works properly, make sure you have the latest
scripting engines on the workstation from which you run this script.
You can download the latest scripting engines from the Microsoft
Scripting home page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/). Also,
since the script uses the Active Directory Services Interface (ADSI),
you must have the same applicable rights you need to use the built-in
administrative tools.
