New to Patch Manager, have many questions.

Hello,

I will get right down to it.

1. How do I find a report that tells me what patches failed to install, and to what computers, and why they failed?

2. When I approve a patch does it get saved somewhere on the HD and if so where?

3. Is there a report I can access that tells me what patches were deployed, and to what computers?

4. I noticed that on the managers console it shows me the top 10 patches most missing. I noticed that some of the patches are not found according to their KB number. It is those patches that are deemed not important, but shouldn't I be able to still find it? An example of one is "Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3075851)" and when you click on it I see this:

Thanks for any help!
