Hi,

I am new to SCCM and was told to use it for Windows Update.

May I ask for a particular server, is it possible for me to see what patches are already installed, which patch is missing on a particular server ?

Besides, is it also possible to see whether patches have been downloaded to that Server ?

Thanks

    Hi @TonyJK ,

    We could check the reports are listed under the Software Updates - A Compliance category.

    Here is the article about the report:
    https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/servers/manage/list-of-reports#software-updates---a-compliance

    For example:
    Kindly input the update group and collection, click the tab of view report, we could see what patches are already installed, which patch is missing on a particular server.

    Have you looked at the built-in reports for this?

    Hi TonyJK-1323,

    Yes, We could check the deployment status from "Monitoring > Deployments". To review deployment details for each compliance state and the devices in that state, select a deployment, and then, on the Home tab, in the Deployment group, choose View Status to open the Deployment Status pane. Here is the article we could refer to:
    https://model-technology.com/blog/understanding-software-update-deployment-status-part-3-viewing-compliance-in-the-sccm-console/
    Note: the above links are not from MS, and just for your reference.

    Similar picture will be shown in the console:
