AIX Tar
Summary: ALthough AIX is by now on version 7.3 I find these old pages so fascinating I decided to keep them. On this page I'll show you how to configure tar for AIX (tar is a software utility for collecting many files into one archive file, often referred to as a tarball, for distribution or backup purposes). This page is for AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1.

Refactor: 1 May 2025: Checked links and formatting.
These are custom wsus reports, as wsus by default does not provide that many useful reports. Please note that the script is designed to run in two domains, and for versioning purposes you only have to maintain one copy. The script is being copied to the second domain, and then automatically run there as well. Note that the scheduling is done by Windows Task Schedular.
Note that the functions and scheduling is also explained in Automate compliance in Active Directory
