    I can able to find the Creation date by using the command GetUpdateApprovals.

    But I approved the "Update123" to Group1 @ 01,Jan'17

    and I approved the same update to Group2 @ 07, Sep'17 

    This command's output showing the same creation date for both groups.

    Current Output:

    Group name       Creation Date

    ------------------------------------

    Group1              07, Sep'17

    Group2              07, Sep'17

    Please guide me to view the exact approval date from Powershell. 

    I need output like below:

    Group name: Group1

    Update name    Approval Date

    -----------------------------------

    Update1              05, Feb'17

    Update2              25, Aug'17

    _______________________________________________

    (or)

    Update Name: Update1

    Group Name             Approved Date

    --------------------------------------------

    Group 1                  06, Feb'17

    Group 2                  07, Aug'17

    If you know the KB # you can parse the change.log file

    get-content 'C:\Program Files\Update Services\LogFiles\Change.log' | Where-Object {$_ -match "install" -and $_ -match "KB938759"}

    Hello,

    As far as I know, there is no such record for approval data in WSUS DB. 

    Therefore, you can't retrieve that either from WSUS console or PowerShell cmdlets.

    As a workaround, you may get the info for approval data from the log file located at 

    C:\Program Files\Update Services\LogFiles\Change.log

    Best regards,

    Andy Liu
