Find Specific MS HF using Powershell

From time to time, especially in my country, we need to recursively search for a specific Hot Fix installed on the system.

In the script below we show how to search for the following KB, KB2863058
This can be change to fit your needs.

$list = Get-Content C:\tmp\list.txt

$Exception = ""

$Updates = ""

$OperatingSystem = ""

$Update_KB2863058 = ""

$BigResult = foreach ($l in $list) {

    Clear-Variable OperatingSystem

    Clear-Variable Updates

    Clear-Variable Exception

    Clear-Variable Update_KB2863058

    $result = "" |select -Property Name, OS, Update_KB2863058

    $OperatingSystem = Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $l -Class Win32_OperatingSystem

                        

    if ($OperatingSystem -ne $null) {

        $Updates = Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $l -Class Win32_QuickFixEngineering

        if ($Updates.count -gt "1") {

            $Update_KB2863058 = $Updates | ? {$_.HotFixID -eq "KB2863058"}

            

            if ($Update_KB2863058 -eq $null) {

                $result.Update_KB2863058 = "Not Installed"}

            else {$result.Update_KB2863058 = "Installed"}

        }

        else {

            $Update_KB2863058 = "Please Check Manually";

            $result.Update_KB2863058 = $Update_KB2863058;

        }

        $result.Name = $l

        $result.OS = $OperatingSystem.Caption

        $result

    } # END OperationSystem IF

                        

    else {

        $result.Name = $l; $result.Update_KB2863058 = "Can't Connect"; $result;

    }

} # END Foreach

$BigResult | Export-Csv -Path C:\tmp\GetInstalledHotFix.csv

Enjoy.
