Recreate WSUS Report - Computer Tabular Status

Question

Could someone help me please recreating a WSUS report in Patch Manager as I'm still trying to get my head round it all?

I want to be able to report on which servers are missing critical and security updates, below is what I run in WSUS, just like to be able to recreate it for all groups and the option to narrow it down to specific groups.

* Reports
* Computer Tabular Status
* Include update in these classifications - Critical Updates, Security Updates
* Include update for these products - I leave this to all, but in terms of Patch Manager we don't use it for 3rd party, just Microsoft updates if that helps.
* Include computers from these Groups - All Computers (I would like to know how to pick specific groups also).
* Include computers that have a status of - Needed, Failed.

Thanks in advance, much appreciated.

You could likely add one more line to the filter section there  for

Title (Classification)    is in (list)     [Security Updates, Critical Updates]

like this:

klhappethis this is really good, thank you so much!

Just having a play with it, it is easy to filter so its just Critical Updates & Security Updates?

Go to Reporting>WSUS Reports> WSUS and start with one of the Percent Downloaded, etc templates and change it to the above. You can then change the Group Memberships for what ever group you want. I currently use this for 20 different groups and have it email me reports each month.
