Viewing Service Pack Compliance Reports

After you select the criteria in the Service Pack Compliance Report Editor, you can generate the report, or name it and save it as a template. If you save it as a template, you can select the template and then click Report in the Reports window. Whether you generate the report from the editor window or from a template, the same Report window opens.

The Report shows the service packs you selected and the number of packages with the compliance status that you selected (compliant or not compliant, with the service pack). If you selected compliant for status, the report shows how many packages of the service pack are installed on the host; if you selected not compliant, the report shows how many packages this host needs to install.

To see which packages are counted in the row, select a host name in the report and then click Details. The report displays host names and packages, what version is installed on the hosts and what version is recommended for installation.
