API or Graph to check installed Windows Server updates and ReleaseDateTime

Question

Dear Microsoft team,

We are trying to setup a powershell script to automatically retrieve the OS Versions from our Windows Servers. We already have this script running.

f.e .. for one of our Windows Servers, the OSVersion returns as : 10.0.20348.3207
Now is there any kind of API or Microsoft Graph link we can use to send this OSVersion to so we can get the exact ReleaseDateTime for this specific version and updates ?

We found this: 'https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/admin/windows/updates/products?expand=revisions($expand=catalogEntry,knowledgeBaseArticle)' but this only returns the Updates/OS Version/ReleaseDateTime for Windows Clients... not Windows Server releases unfortunately.

Thanks in advance

Hello Glenn Vantorre,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Based on my research, it seems that the Microsoft Graph API does not currently support retrieving detailed release information for Windows Server versions. The available endpoints primarily focus on Windows Client updates. For Windows Server release information, you may need to rely on other resources. To find alternative resources for obtaining Windows Server release information, I will perform a web search to gather relevant information and resources. This will help identify other methods or APIs that can provide the data you need.

Here are some alternative resources you can use to obtain Windows Server release information and updates:

Windows Server Release Information on Microsoft Learn:

Windows Server release information

GitHub - WindowsOSBuild:

WindowsOSBuild on GitHub

Microsoft Support - Update History:

Microsoft Support - Update History

I hope the information above is helpful.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

Best Regards,

Daisy Zhou
