How to Enumerate Updates Matching a Specific Criteria

  • Artikkeli

This topic explains how to enumerate software updates that match specific criteria in Configuration Manager by building a query and then using the ExecuteQuery method of the QueryProcessor class to run the query.

To enumerate updates matching a specific criteria

  1. Set up a connection to the SMS Provider.

  2. Assign a specific query to a variable.

  3. Pass the variable to the ExecuteQuery method.

Example

The following example method enumerates updates that match specific criteria by passing a query to the ExecuteQuery method.

Four example queries are demonstrated below:

  1. A query that displays the software updates that have already been downloaded.

  2. A query that displays the software updates that have already been deployed.

  3. A query that displays the software updates that have a particular severity value.

  4. A query that displays the software update CI_IDs that are associated with a specific knowledge base article.

    Detailed information about the properties that are associated with a software update is in the SMS_SoftwareUpdate class reference material.

    For information about calling the sample code, see Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets.
