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)

  1. Download this: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=93750
  2. Install, choose "Admin Console only" when it runs.
  3. Go get coffee.
  4. Once installed, open your MMC toolkit, choose to add a new snap-in -- you should see "Update Services" listed.
  5. You're done.

You'll need the Microsoft Report Viewer to see all of the WSUS reports -- if you don't have it installed:

  1. Close your MMC -- can't be open when you install this.
  2. 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)
  3. Install it.
  4. Start your MMC back up and try viewing a report.
