  • 1.  Customized Patch Compliance Reports

    Posted Nov 30, 2011 10:21 PM

    I've got an issue where I need to email out 2 seperate patch reports to staff.  Both are based off of the 'Windows Compliance by Computer' report, the first needs to contain only XP or Windows 7 workstations, only Security Updates, and only Microsoft patches.  The second is almost the same, only difference being that we need this report to focus on W2K3 and W2K8 servers.

    I can easily obtain the reports I need by modifying the drop down menus when I view the report in the Altiris console.  In my scenario, I created an automation policy to leverage the 'Windows Compliance by Computer' report, it does this but then it fills in 'all' for the parameters and when it gets mailed out, I see every server and workstation in my environment in the report.

    I tried to clone the report and edit it to what I want, but that's where I got lost.  Is that the right path to proceed down in solving this, or is there an easier way that I may be missing?

    Create two filters, one for All XP+Win7 and another one for all W2K3 and W2K8 servers.

    When you see full report in console, In the parameters session Click on 'Filtered by' and select only just created required filter and do refresh and save the report to spreadsheet.
