Detection state unknown for some updates

Question

Hi
I am trying to run reports on whether certain patches are applicable in my estate. However, running the reports results in large number of clients reporting 'Detection State Unknown'. However, I know the client has run a scan as it has already sent back
data relating to other patches. I can also force a manual refresh of the scan using the control panel applet and check the logs to confirm the scan has completed successfuly.
However, I still receive 'detection state unknown'. This currrently represents over 50% of my servers.
Can anyone help as I am pulling my hair out with this?
Thanks

Answer 1

this is one I use:
Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next
Call RefreshServerComplianceState
' WScript.Echo "Finished"
Sub RefreshServerComplianceState()
    ' Initialize the UpdatesStore variable.
    dim newCCMUpdatesStore
    ' Create the COM object.
    set newCCMUpdatesStore = CreateObject ("Microsoft.CCM.UpdatesStore")
    ' Refresh the server compliance state by running the RefreshServerComplianceState method.
    newCCMUpdatesStore.RefreshServerComplianceState
    ' Output success message.
'    wscript.echo "Ran RefreshServerComplianceState."
End Sub
