<p>Thanks all for your feedback,<br>

<p>>Perhaps this could be added to <a href="https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php" target="_blank">Xymonton</a><br>
I dont know who manage Xymonton, but he could add it!</p>
<p>>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.</p>
<p>Let us know what modification did you did! (Send an email or
create an issue on Github)! And my 2 cents comments:<br>
- 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)<br>
- 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 !<br>

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