This is not as simple as you thin it might be, so first let us try to establish exactly what you want in your report?
You will clearly have some patch updates relating to VMWare
You will clearly have some Windows servers that need to get those patches and
You will have patch schedules that are needed to push the patches to the servers
This means that there are a fair few number of SQL tables that will be involved in the report.
But what exactly do you need the report to tell you???
Do you want to know, by patch, which servers have the patch and those that do not?
Do you want to know which servers have had the patches deployed to theme and the schedule has failed?
I guess we also need to know about your patch deployment schedules as well to understand how to build the report.........
Please share with us more information and we will try to help

I found my answer from following post https://www.itninja.com/question/kace-sql-customized-report-add-agent-connection-date-and-time
SELECT MACHINE.NAME AS SYSTEM_NAME,
MACHINE.IP,
SOFTWARE.DISPLAY_NAME,
SOFTWARE.DISPLAY_VERSION
FROM ORG1.MACHINE
JOIN ORG1.MACHINE_SOFTWARE_JT ON (MACHINE_SOFTWARE_JT.MACHINE_ID = MACHINE.ID)
JOIN ORG1.SOFTWARE ON (SOFTWARE.ID = MACHINE_SOFTWARE_JT.SOFTWARE_ID)
WHERE SOFTWARE.DISPLAY_NAME LIKE '%VMware Tools%'
ORDER BY SYSTEM_NAME; - rajeshwaranm 8 months ago
