Yeah, did you think installing the MMC for WSUS into your MMC toolkit would be easy? (Update: These instructions have been updated to work with RSAT on Vista as well)
The following instructions will install the WSUS Administrative and Reporting console for both WSUS Administrators and all OU Administrators wishing to view the status of their computer patches.
- Download this: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=93750
- Install, choose "Admin Console only" when it runs.
- Go get coffee.
- Once installed, open your MMC toolkit, choose to add a new snap-in -- you should see "Update Services" listed.
- You're done.
You'll need the Microsoft Report Viewer to see all of the WSUS reports -- if you don't have it installed:
- Close your MMC -- can't be open when you install this.
- Download the viewer: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E7D661BA-DC95-4EB3-8916-3E31340DDC2C&displaylang=en (will work on both XP and Vista)
- Install it.
- Start your MMC back up and try viewing a report.
