Looks interesting, but I really need a solution that exports the same pdf and Microsoft's &quot;Status Report&quot; .. formatting, graphics etc.<br />

It's just frustrating that Microsoft doesnt seem to let you save your report format, instead I have to configure the report for each one I want to run.

Is there a way of automating WSUS 3.0 reports? &nbsp;I am speaking of the PDF reports you can generate by going to target group, selecting computers, right-click select &quot;Status Report&quot;.<br />
<br />
From here I have to manually choose the classification, product, and status each time.<br />
<br />
I would like to be able to tell a script of some sort what target group to generate a detailed, &quot;classification = security and critical updates&quot;, &quot;Product = Windows&quot;, &quot;Status = Needed,Failed&quot;.<br />
<br />
Currently I have to do this manually for the 5 billion target groups my company has for each of it's clients.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
