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?
