Accuracy of patch Assessments

[Hannah Massie]

Hi, 

I have a situation where the accuracy of the patch assessment scans is being challenged by my management.

A newly built 2019 was patched using Windows Update until it said it was up to date but our scans continued to show it needing patches, and especially a current SSU update from a year ago. From what I can see it seems WSUS reports the same  requirements and has installed these on other servers, but this anomaly is being used to cast doubt over the accuracy of our Patch Assessment scans and their use (everything is configured correctly and working). Is there anything available that would answer this challenge and support the accuracy of our scans especially vis a vis Windows Update.

Thanks in advance

Hi Hannah,

may you create a support ticket for this so we would review results of this specific server's assessment and analyze where the differences with Windows Update come from?

Thank you,
Dmitri.
