If newsgroup discussion with experts and MVPs is unable to solve a problem to your satisfaction, feel free to contact PSS for support on the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA). Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2.1 (MBSA) Introduction Wanna scan remote computer if it is patched, but not wanna get wsusscn2.cab online again Solutions Download and install MBSA Download wsusscn2.cab and then run 'MBSACLI.exe'. The offline catalog must be a.cab file signed by Microsoft. The default offline catalog is Wsusscan.cab, which is downloaded from the Microsoft Web site. When this parameter is not used, Wsusscan.cab is downloaded from the Microsoft Web site if it is different from the locally cached version. Using this parameter prevents a newer file from.
Improvements and Changes in MBSA 2.3 PreviewMBSA 2.3 Preview includes the most popular scanning abilities ofprevious versions and adds these additional features:
Additional Features:

Ability to choose offline mode from graphical and command-lineinterfaces (/offline option)
Support for additional security catalogs (for future use)
Command-line option to obtain catalogs from user-selecteddirectory or network share using /cabpathoption
Compatibility with WSUS 3.0 technologies and the latest WindowsUpdate Agent features
All vulnerability assessment (VA) checks have been extended towork on x64 (64-bit) platforms
Updated graphical user interface
Command-line option to redirect reports to a user-selecteddirectory or network share using /rd option
Consistency with Windows Update, Microsoft Update, WindowsServer Update Services (WSUS) server,Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 and System CenterConfiguration Manager (SCCM)
Access to the live Microsoft Update site for publishedcontent for live (online) security update assessment as well as an offline catalog for customers withlimited or secure internet access. 
Automatic determination of the client's assigned WSUSserver, eliminating the need to specify the client's WSUSserver before scanning to ensure the correct assigned WSUS server will be used
Ability to provide a 'not yet approved' score forunapproved WSUS updates
Ability to run multiple copies of MBSA for increasedscanning performance
Current Update Compliance appears in the report; installed andneeded updates are reported together in a single scan report
Updates that require a restart of the computer will be annotated as the reason for non-complianceboth in the GUI and command-line interface
Accepts an input file of computers and IP addresses to be scanned
Reports can now be easily shared and viewed
Structured XML output offers simplified integration for update scanning
Ability to pass a specific username and password on the commandline for both update scanning and security misconfiguration scanning
Option to automatically configure clients with prerequisites toensure thelatest required version of Windows Update Agent needed for scanning
Specific Web links for locating updates and taking necessaryactions
Bulletin severity ratings available in report details
Fixes and changes from previous versions:

Corrects automatic fallback to offline mode if Microsoft Updateor WSUS servers are unavailable (corrects an MBSA-specific issueintroduced with the newest Windows Update Agent)
Removed download link in completed scan reports since its nolonger possible to accurately identify the correct package in amulti-package bundle, which is how the majority of updates arenow released
Removed product version from cache directory path (now C:Documents andSettingsLocal SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftMBSACache).
Localization:MBSA releases are available for German, Japanese, andFrench.
The WSUSSCN2.CAB file is localized to all supported languagesand will be automatically downloaded and used by the tool for any clientlanguage or locale being scanned. Results are stored in the report based on theMBSA installation language.
MBSA can scan for security updates in the following products:All products supported by Microsoft Update including:
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1 Preview, Windows Server 2012 R2 Preview - including 64-bit (x64 and ia64) support
Microsoft Windows XP Embedded (limited to remote scanningand limited to local scanning via the /xmlout command line switch)
Microsoft Office XP and later
Exchange Server 2000 and later
All Windows components (such as MSXML, MDAC, Windows MediaPlayer, Outlook Express/Windows Mail)
.Net Framework 1.0 and later
SQL Server 2000 with service pack 3 and later
Additional and new Microsoft products as they are added to Microsoft Update(see the MBSA home page for details)
Additional Configuration Checks:Incomplete Updates check - (for recently released updates thatrequire a computer restart to take effect)
Additional MBSA CLI Switches:Mbsa Offline Cab Download Play Tree House/offline - Forces offline mode; easier than using /wa (WSUS Approved) or /wi (WSUS Ignore) to force offline mode
/addonly - Use only additional catalogs (if available)
/noadd - Do not use additional catalogs (even if available)
/cabpath - Location of additional catalogs (if available)
/ia - (Attempt to install a newer version ofWindows Update Agent if one is required for scanning)
/mu - (Force target clients to use the live Microsoft Update siteto determine security compliance regardless of WSUS serverassignment)
/nd - (Force target clients not to use files from the Microsoft Web siteto determine security compliance; offline catalog will be usedinstead)
/rd - (Used to place completed scan reports in a user-selecteddirectory or network share. Also to retrieve scan reports from auser-selected location)
/qt - (do not display the report output automatically aftera single computer scan)
Replaced MBSA CLI Switches for MBSA 1.2.1compatibility:/wi, /wa replace the /sus option
/catalog replaces the /x option
/xmlout replaces the /HF option
/target replaces the /i, /c and /h options
/listfile replaces the /fh and /fip options
/ld replaces the /v option
MBSA CLI switches removed from previous versions:Mbsa Offline Cab Download Play Tree For Pc/n - (ranges and computer lists can be specified by the /rand /listfile options respectively)
/e - (structured output in XML can be parsed from thereports)
/history - (current update compliance isincluded by default when scanning)
/fq - (structured output in XML can be parsed from thereports)
/s, /sum, /nosum and /z - (Automatic Updates and MicrosoftUpdate catalog detection logic is always used)
/o tab | wrap - (structured output in XML can be parsed fromthe reports)
/t - (multiple copies of MBSA may now be used on the samescanning computer)
/f - (console redirection can be used to write additionaloutput to a file)
/nai - (Do not install a newer version of the Windows Update Agenteven if required for scanning - which is the new defaultsetting. Use the /ia switch to automatically install therequired Windows Update Agent)
/nm - (Do not configure computers to use the Microsoft Update site for scanning by default. /mu switch is required to use Microsoft Update site)
Issue

Finding mrs. clause. Reasons why an update is considered missing are not provided in this version of MBSA, however when an update has been installed and a computer restart is required for it to take effect, this reason will be provided in the report.

WorkaroundThe built-in logging of the Automatic Updates service found inthe WindowsUpdate.log file can be used to inspect the detection behavior for troubleshooting.

IssueInstallation history (explicitly installed / effectively installed) no longer reflect those updates that have been superseded by another update. The behavior of this feature follows the behavior for missing updates, where only the most recent non-superseded update is shown.
WorkaroundRefer to the bulletin, fixlist, or TechNet search page to identify each previous bulletin that has been included in the update in question from the Current Update Compliance listing.
IssueMicrosoft free pdf reader. Support for SUS 1.0 does not exist in MBSA 2.
WorkaroundUpgrade from SUS 1.0 to Windows Server Update Services.
