All Requested Software Updates
Something that I recently learned from a colleague of mine was how to create a search folder in SCCM to show all the software updates required by client machines. It is non-intuitive, but in my testing it does seem to work.
Under Software Updates –> Update Repository –> Search Folders you should create a new search folder. For the Criteria choose “required” and for search text type 1 and hit add, then 2 and hit add, 3 and it add, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. For search options select to search all folders under this feature. Give it a name and save it.
This doesn’t make sense to me but, as an example, by adding a 7 then any number starting with a 7 will be picked up (7, 70, 700, 723, 72, etc). Since you add each digit all numbers will complete the query and all results will show up for each patch.

Hi Skoog. It sounds like your query may bring back things which may not necessarily be needed in your environment. Nothing wrong with that, just a possible explanation. Whatever criteria works for you is the best one. :-)Anonymous
