<p>>Perhaps this could be added to <a

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>
