Jerry,
You are moving right along.
This script will let me know what is installed and what is not installed so that we can see if you have an update problem.
Just attach the two files mentioned at the first of the script to your next post.
thanks, karl
Script:
# ************************************************************
# Places InstalledUpdates.txt on your DESKTOP
# Places NotInstalledUpdates.TXT on your DESKTOP
#
# Hidden updates are ignored.
# ************************************************************
Try
{
$error.clear()
$file = "$env:userprofile\Desktop\InstalledUpdates.TXT"
If (test-path -path $file) {del $file}
$update = new-object -com Microsoft.update.Session
$searcher = $update.CreateUpdateSearcher()
write-host "`n`n Patience. I'm slowly, but steadily working on fetching the list of installed updates.`n`n"
$pending = $searcher.Search("IsInstalled=1")
foreach($entry in $pending.Updates) {
IF ($entry.IsHidden -ne $true) {
"Title: " + $entry.Title | Out-file -append $File
"Downloaded? " + $entry.IsDownloaded | Out-file -append $File
"Description: " + $entry.Description | Out-file -append $File
