WSUS Reporting Rollup Tool Sample

In continuation to my post on Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) Support Tools, WSUS Reporting Rollup Tool Sample is available for testing.

Reporting Rollup Tool Sample

Read me Reporting Rollup Tool

The Reporting Rollup Sample Tool package contains both a pre-built reporting rollup tool and sample source files which you can use to build unique reporting rollup tools.

This sample tool was created using the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) application programming interface (API) in order to demonstrate centralized monitoring and reporting for Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). This tool rolls up update and computer status from all of the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) servers in your Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) implementation in a single report.

UPDATE (5/7/2006):

Reporting for Replica Servers will be added in WSUS 3.0 UI.

I've tried to implement this tool but get an error during the import of data into the MSDE database "The conversion of a char data type....". Anyone else having the same problem?

Hi Glen,

Just post the same on Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) Community (WSUS News Groups / Forums) and let see if MS Developers have an answer!

Hello,
I have installed the rollup and succesfully linked it to a fresh install of MSDE SQL 2005.
Now when I follow the instructions, I am failing to get the Scheduled task for a CMD prompt to work (at all) not sure what to do.
When I tried this manually in cmd prompt, the first execution of the file worked, the second I am uncertain. Nevertheless, when I browsed to the web page for the rollup, it is 404'd. Any insight, thoughts or help, direction to a good blog about installation for this. I cannot seem to follow the limited instructions given on the README.txt

Good News! WSUS 3.0 includes reports for Replica Servers.

Stay tuned,

Have installed the tool and works okay. One problem is that we use a dns alias (redirects) to get the client to download from the server which is closest by. So for clients which connect to different WSUS servers the reporting is overwritten by the last report that is imported.
