Maclean,

Here is a thought (although I didn't take the time to test it myself)...

- go to Reports, then Exec Summary Report
- click the Change Rows button
- add a new row
- enter the title you desire (such as "Patch Scans Completed")
- For Row Type, schoose script log
- Leave Search Item as All Scripts
- for Search Filtler, enter *WUA Patch Scan 1*
- Apply
- Save

Looking through my Script logs, it seems that "WUA Patch Scan 1 (x86)" or ""WUA Patch Scan 1 (x64)" are the last log entries for a completed patch scan. This *should* catch both of them.

Again, just an idea. Others may have a better suggestion.

Thanks for the advice. Great minds obviously work alike, as I had tried a similar method to this myself. Sadly, I can't quite get it to work.

Here's why:

This is a sample entry in the Script Log that I want to find, using a search filter in a report.
___________________________
9:03:02 am 2-Mar-09 WUA Patch Scan 1 (x86) *System*
Script Summary: Success THEN
___________________________

The trouble is that the search filter reads the body of the log entries, not the title. By the body, I mean the part that reads "Script Summary: Success THEN" in the above example.

Unfortunately, this is too generic a message to use in the search filter, as every script uses it.

If I could change the patch scan script to add a custom Script Log entry, I'd be fine, but I cannot see where I can change the patch scan scripts.
