Hi,<br />
Just look in &quot;orgasm and features (aka add and remove) and click list updates. You can sort by date and will become obvious.<br />
Or open wupdate.log from windows directory.<br />

I was told : &quot;When we build out the server vm's we build a template first. The template is fully updated and patched , syspreped and shutdown. We then clone that server and make as many copies we need. When you sysprep the machine none of the updates are removed but it does reset the machine back to factory settings, so windows doesn't think it was updated.&quot; It appears that no updates have ever been installed therefore since I am a pragmatic and cynical individual I want to confirm that updates were in fact installed. How can I do that?

How can I determine if updates were installed prior to sysprep

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.
