James,
Do you have any experience with creating EPA scans to detect patch management or windows updates? I am using the OPSWAT editor with no success.
Thank you
Only suggestion would be to scan for a particular registry entry or file to match against the ‘hotfix’ or update you require? Havent done anything specific.. truly the more you narrow the ‘success criteria’ the more users you quickly annoy! 🙂 – i usualyl keep it generic to Hostname, registry key for laptop image version or the like.
Good luck
