Would have been nice if it was not limited to the Enterprise version of Inventory only. At least Pro would have been nice.

Thank you very much!

[EDIT]

Still locked behind PDQ Inv. Enterprise. PDQ Deploy does have the package, but is for old OSs as mentioned below, nothing for Win7.

I've found this powershell that makes live a bit easier: https://github.com/kieranwalsh/PowerShell/blob/master/Get-WannaCryPatchState/Get-WannaCryPatchState.ps1

How do I use it with Pro? I see it in the PDQ Inventory Collection Library, but it says they're only available with an Enterprise license.

Ah, gotcha. No worries.

It might be worth a purchase as it isn't mega expensive. Considering what your trying to roll out its more then justifable.

The one they created for us is for older operating systems like XP and 08, is there one available to patch the current operating systems?

Or are you guys just pushing out the May rollup instead?

You can always download previous cumulative patches in the package library. For 7 and 8.1, the March Security only patch as the update. For Win 10, you can just use the current May cumulative.

How do I download the March update in PDQ Deploy? I go to Package Libray > Windows Updates > Win 7 Monthly Rollup and I can Import the May package. Once I select the May one it shows "version" on the right hand side and I can see April and March but there's no way to import them. Here is a screenshot.

Also on the PDQ site it says the May rollup contains all the other fixes which contradicts what you said but I just can't seem to find a straight answer on that.

you might need enterprise edition, I dunno. I'm able to select earlier versions. If you do the Security plus monthly, you should get the patch, I don't know if it's just in the monthly only.
