client side status

While the wsus client is downloading and installing patches, is there any
specific process that can be monitored to determine if the process is
completed or not? I have a nice script to watch a specified process but just
need to know what is running to make it work for user compliance notification.

--or--

Is there a way from a client side to know that a workstations current status
is 'up to date' with the WSUS server?

Command line options are best for this as I would intend on scripting it.

Thanks,

Hi,

Fyi:

Please post WSUS related issues to the newsgroup dedicated to WSUS:
microsoft.public.windows.server.update_services

WebNews link to the WSUS newsgroup:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...pdate_services

If the link above doesn't work, try this one:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...pdate_services

Or use a newsgroup reader (default Outlook Express) to access this new
group:

Clicking on this link should open this group in OE:

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...pdate_services

Thanks for directing me there.
