Yes, there's a few 'windows updates' scripts available.  There's some specific steps involved in getting things setup just right, but it works great.  I edited my script to use just as info (always green), but it does have the alert colors built-in.  I changed it because updates come out practically daily nowdays and everything was always red even though I had just updated the previous day.

You can run other external scripts via the PS client too.  There's a surprising lack of How-To's in that area so I'm putting some things together.  I'll post it when I'm done.

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone has a way to monitor a windows server using the powershell client so that it will notify xymon when a machine needs to have windows updates installed and or rebooted?

I currently have xymon triggering a yellow uptime dot if the machine(s) are up more than 30 days but I am looking for something more accurate.

Is there some kind of external script available?

If this does not exist, does anyone know how to detect that updates are needed or the machine needs a reboot. My Google foo seems to lacking in this area.
