Further down in the report (Figure 3.45), you see a list of
the actual new updates and a list of the ones that have expired. As we??™ve shown
throughout this chapter, one of the biggest changes to WSUS 3.0 is the use of the
Microsoft Report Viewer 2005 and it is possibly the most important, next to the
ability to deliver updates to clients.

Computers
To manage computers in WSUS 3.0, you must go to the Computers node in the
Console Tree. Here you will fi nd any computer groups you??™ve set up plus the default
group Unassigned Computers. Selecting any computer groups in the Computers node
will display those computers in the Details Pane. If you select a computer from a group,
you will see its properties, which will include general details about that system and
the status of updates for it. Figure 3.46 shows the details of a computer named Alderon
from our test network. You can see that this system runs Windows Vista Ultimate
Edition, and you can view its IP address, computer make and model, the processor
type, and even the BIOS version. In the status area you see a breakdown of the
updates it needs and those that are already installed.
