how to review windows update history

how do find what patch/update was installed and when (date)? i installed
Microsoft Baseline Security Advisor and Shavlik NetChk Pro and it was able to
show me what was installed but not when. So i am looking for a report or a
script i can report so i can run it on 80 servers
thank you

The Belarc Advisor will do it www.belarc.com
