Get-Hotfix is one of the Windows PowerShell cmdlets that can act on a remote computer by using the -ComputerName parameter. You can use the Get-Hotfix cmdlet to quickly display a list of installed hotfixes on a remote computer. For example, if the name of the remote computer is SEA-SRV-01 then you could type the following command from the Windows PowerShell command shell:
Get-Hotfix -computername SEA-SRV-01 | Select HotfixID, Description, InstalledOn | Sort-Object InstalledOn
The results might look like this:
HotfixID Description InstalledOn
KB975467 Hotfix 11/7/2010 3:00:00 AM
KB978251 Security Update 11/7/2010 3:00:00 AM
etc.
You can also abbreviate the above command like this:
Get-Hotfix –cn SEA-SRV-01 | Select HotfixID, Description, InstalledOn | sort InstalledOn
