When i manually Update a Windows Machine (W2K3) via the yellow icon in the Taskbar, i can get the last Install date via the Registry:

(Get-ItemProperty -Path Registry::"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\Results\Install").LastSuccessTime

But when invoking the Update via a PS Script Using:

New-Object -ComObject 'Microsoft.Update.Session'

The Registry Entry is not Updated. Why is this the case? Do i have to script this myself? Is this a option to be set in 'Microsoft.Update.Session'? Is there another way asking a machine when Last Updates were installed?

does running "wmic qfe" at an elevated command prompt give you what you need? – tony roth Apr 30 '13 at 18:08
Could be a Workaround but i really wonder why i got different behaivour doing a Task manual or with COM Automation. – icnivad May 02 '13 at 07:33
