Reporting the WSUS Computer Client ID

Is it possible to create a patch manager report which includes the ID (e.g. 47ea9572-625b-4598-9696-6b1e43232644)? I cannot find the property in the report edit area...

I'm looking for the informations from the ID column within my WSUS/Computers Nodes.

Ahhh, yes. I had forgotten that column was available in that view.

Yes, as I noted, the field is available in every datasource in the WSUS Analytics report category. Just add it to the report template.

Okay, based on the subject I'm going to assume you mean the SusClientID.

Easiest way to get that is to look at the Managed Computers node (if you've done an inventory), and the SUS Client ID has its own column. Export to Excel.

In Reporting, the field is available in every WSUS datasource. Just add it to an existing report.

Inventory of the clients is (sad and long story) not possible, I've got only the WSUS informations. I just cannot find the corresponding column under the WSUS Reports.

Thanks. Sadly the reporting category "Windows Server Update Services Analytics" seems to be updated only by the "WSUS Inventory Task". This Task runs over 4 hour on our single WSUS server and is therefor not sheduled very often.
