PowerShell

Since upgrading my workplace to Windows 7 my department got a lot of complaints from users that they no longer knew when their passwords would expire. As you’re probably aware, the little balloon box in Windows 7 isn’t all that noticeable compared to the dialogue box Windows XP threw requiring you to actually acknowledge the notice.

I’ve been performing maintenance on my WSUS server the last couple of days. In particular, I’ve been trying to re-install a particular update that had previously been approved, then denied. This resulted in several hosts failing to properly re-install this update automatically forcing the need to manually re-install it; to 76 hosts. Nope!
