Display Top Error Computers With powershell

This script retrieves and displays information about computers with the highest number of update errors from a WSUS server. It uses the WSUS API to gather data and generates a log file for analysis.

Steps to Use the Script

1. **Open PowerShell**:

Open PowerShell with administrative rights. Type PowerShell in the search bar, right-click on Windows PowerShell, and select Run as administrator.

2. **Run the Script**:

Copy the script into a PowerShell file, e.g., Check-WsusErrors.ps1, and run it. The script will generate a CSV log file of computers with errors and display the top computers with the most errors.
