View installation History file iuhist.xml

What happened to the iuhist.xml file for maintaining a history of Windows
Updates that have been applied?

What file is being used to keep track of the history of all Security Updates
and when they were applied (for Windows 2003 and Windows 2000 servers).

Thanks
Allison

Hi,

It is stored in the database file
%windir%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\DataStore. edb

(%windir% is typically C:\Windows or C:\Winnt)

In the link below is a VBScript that outputs all the installation
history to a text file.
