Device labels for patched devices

Hey guys!

We have an issue with a Windows patch and we have trying to identify the machines with the patch and assign it a device label so that we can run a script against the affected devices. But it doesn't seem to be straight forward. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • You will need a SQL based Smart Label, to cross two different tables. (Patches vs. Devices).

    See this post, I think it's similar request\inquiry

    • Much thanks for the response Channeler! Fortunately n1md4's suggestion worked for me but I see value in your suggestion.

      I did SQL query and it workied in MySQL but not as a label. What else do I need to do?

      SELECT
      PP.TITLE AS PATCH_NAME,
      M.NAME AS COMPUTER_NAME,
      OS_NAME AS WINDOWS_VERSION,
      OS_BUILD AS WINDOWS_BUILD,
      DATE_FORMAT(PP.RELEASEDATE, '%Y-%m-%d') AS RELEASED
      FROM
      PATCHLINK_MACHINE_STATUS MS
      JOIN
      KBSYS.PATCHLINK_PATCH PP ON PP.UID = MS.PATCHUID
      JOIN
      PATCHLINK_PATCH_STATUS PPS ON PPS.PATCHUID = PP.UID
      JOIN
      MACHINE M ON M.ID = MS.MACHINE_ID
      WHERE
      MS.STATUS = 'PATCHED'
      AND (PP.IDENTIFIER = 'KB40xxx' OR PP.IDENTIFIER = 'KB40xxx') - egas 7 years ago
