How to Enumerate Updates Matching a Specific Criteria

Applies To: System Center Configuration Manager 2007, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2

This topic explains how to enumerate software updates that match specific criteria in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 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 Server WMI Class class reference material.

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