bmkiss67 Posted June 11, 2019 Report post Posted June 11, 2019 When you look at the SCCM interface it will show some machines needing certain patches. When you go to IE and run a report it does not show the same data. Any ideas on what can be causing this or how to fix this?

GarthMJ Posted June 11, 2019 Report post Posted June 11, 2019 This is to be expected, Reporting is always 100% correct, whereas the console uses cached results. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmkiss67 Posted June 12, 2019 Report post Posted June 12, 2019 Thanks, good to know. Is there a way to force a refresh on the console? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarthMJ Posted June 12, 2019 Report post Posted June 12, 2019 Yes but it will always be out of date, so why not use the reports? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jepeto 46 Posted June 17, 2019 Report post Posted June 17, 2019 Just like Garth said, use report. You can download a real good one for free from https://patchmypc.com/free-software-update-compliance-dashboard-reports-for-microsoft-sccm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmkiss67 Posted June 17, 2019 Report post Posted June 17, 2019 My thing with the SCCM interface is that customers like pretty things so when they want to see patch data they want to see it in the SCCM interface. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would disagree with you. Do you really want to give your management the SCCM console, just to look at reports? No, they would generally want them emailed to them. Reports can be pretty too, you need to take time to make them or find either (free or paid) reports. Don't forget that you will need to update those consoles ever 3-4 months when you update to the latest version of CMCB, this is not a great experience for them.
