azure vm update

Question

Hi,

We are currently doing self-service maintenance manually for 100 plus VMs since we need to communicate an exact maintenance window to our end-customer.
And we are checking manually if the update is completed or not since we cannot find any log.

Is there any way to get a log and use the log to be notified? or any PowerShell script we can use to avoid the manual checking?

Hi @Testa ,

You could use SCCM or WSUS to automate patch management process. In regards to powershell there is a command get-hotfix which simple display all patches applied.
