Hello List,
Thanks to Kris, we (the list) receive a script to manage Windows Updates!
With his authorization I just published the script on Github and a guide to make it running quickly

Yes, an excellent script! For my copy, I added a check that the ext folder exists, create if not (it doesn't by default in my environment). Also it found an obsolete patch of 2978 days old (not even available at MS) so I created a filter to exclude reporting on patches over 365 days.

Let us know what modification did you did! (Send an email or create an issue on Github)! And my 2 cents comments:
- The check for the ext folder to exist should be better in the powershell client: maybe just a warning or just created at the install time (or both)
- For the obsolete patch, a filter seems not a perfect solution (but could be still usefull to have the code!): if you know a better way to do it or if you know why it is not reported as it is in Windows: let us know !

Hi,
We use client-local.cfg:
[powershell] clientversion:2.27:https://x.x.x.x/xymon/download/
And place xymonclient_2.27.ps1 in the xymon/download folder of your webserver. Make sure the version variable in the file matches the version variable in the client-local.cfg file and the filename!!!
It will automatically download + install + refresh the xymon client so the installed version matches the version in the section.

Xymonton is self-service. The maintainer doesn't add the monitors. It can be as simple as a link to your GH or a text copy people can download from there.

I added this before the first Function; note that I install and run from a C:\Utils folder, not Program Files, change as needed.
$extfilepath = 'c:\Utils\ext' IF(!(Test-Path $extfilepath)) {New-Item C:\Utils\ext ?Type Directory}
I also filtered the output in the ForEach loop by enclosing If ($patchAge -lt 365){...}
