haZ,

For the files changed portion of your question, you could use something like Log Parser to gather lists of MD5s of 
files and compare them after.
Like if you wanted EXEs in the sys32.

logparser "SELECT Path, HASHMD5_FILE(Path) INTO EXE_MD5s.csv FROM C:\Windows\System32\*.exe" -i:FS -recurse:0 -o:csv

Hi all,

I need to create a script that gathers information of the OS before and after the updates in order to detect changes 
and which updates/service packs were used.

To be honest, I really don't know where to start. So, my question is which information should i gather in order to 
detect correctly which files were changed and which updates were used.

Thanks in advance.
