Generating the Patch Report

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Application Manager

Edition:Support for importing Microsoft Security Patch files and the Patch Impact Analysis Wizard are included with AdminStudio Enterprise Edition.

In Application Catalog you can generate a Patch Report which lists detailed information about each patch that has been imported into the Application Catalog, including patch impact analysis information.

The Patch Report is generated in Web Archive format (.mht), a single, stand-alone HTML file that can be easily viewed in a Web browser and copied and emailed throughout your organization. The report is also printer-friendly.

To generate a Patch Report:

Launch Application Catalog and click on the Environment tab. The Security Patches Group View opens.

Expand the patch listing and select the patch that you want to generate a report on. The Security Patch View opens.

Right-click on the patch and select Generate Report from the shortcut menu. The Save Patch Report As dialog box opens, prompting you to select a location for the .MHT file.

Confirm the report name and location and click Save. The report will be generated and will open in a new browser window. Click on the icons to expand or contract that section of the report. The report includes the following sections:

Icon	Name	Description
	General Information	Includes patch title, Microsoft Security Bulletin ID, URL of the Microsoft Security Bulletin, patch summary, and the date the patch was released by Microsoft.
	Products Updated	Products updated by the patch.
	Files	Files included in the patch.
	Registry Entries	Registry entries that are added or modified by the patch.
	Impacts	Products that were checked for impacts during Patch Impact Analysis, and impacts that were detected during Patch Impact Analysis.

To print the report with all sections expanded, click the Print Page icon.
