    Hi there,

    I wanted to use PowerShell to remotely check if update is installed.

    I tried by using get-hotfix but for most computers (which are online and pingable) I got "The RPC server is unavailable."

    How can I check for this computers for which I got "The RPC server is unavailable." ?

    Is there another method to do so ?

    Hi,

    Thanks for your question.

    1. You can try to enable the RPC rule on the inbound firewall. It will then allow you to query what hotfixes have been applied.

     

    2. Try to use try/catch for error handling.

    Try {
	Get-Hotfix -id KB3065987 -ErrorAction Stop
}
Catch [System.Management.Automation.RuntimeException]
{	Write-Output "KB3065987 Not Installed" 
	Continue
}

    Just try to solve it.

    Best Regards,
