Are there 3rd party tools or good custom queries for WSUS 3.0?

Question

I'm working with a WSUS SP2 server, and I'm looking for ways to generate better reports. The built-in reporting system, is almost (but not quite) useless.

My reading suggests that WSUS stores it's data in a SQL database, is anyone out there writing custom queries for WSUS or are there any 3rd party tools out there to help generate useful reports?

Not sure if this will help, but Microsoft released something called the WSUS Reporting Rollup Sample Tool that appears to demonstrate custom reporting in WSUS.

I saw that it could have something I could use, have you tried it at all? – Bob Mar 11 '10 at 19:26
I haven't - it just sounded like it might meet the criteria. – Carl C Mar 15 '10 at 17:19
