Downloaded the MS Baseline Security and installed it. When the application
was run i got the 'your security settings prohibit running active x controls
on this page' error.
In order to get the thing to work i had to change the registry key: Zone 0
1200 from 10000 to 0 (zero)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \
Internet Settings \ Zones \ 0

Why not just use the ActiveX security setting interface in IE or Control
Panel Internet Settings. You MVP's always want to make things more
difficult than the really are! Is it you are trying to show off/impress
your fellow geeks, how smart your aren't, that you really are a geek with no
life or all of the above? What you need to remember here is most of the
posters don't even know how to get into regedit, much less wanting them to
be there in the first place, so its best to give answers using any GUI
interface available, unless absolutely no other method to interface is
available.

If the option from the security setting in IE had worked then i would have
said so. The reason why the registry had to be edited was simply because the
option in IE *did not* work.
No one is being smart or out to impress and i, for one, am not a geek. if
you take a look at my website you will see that, wherever, possible
instructions are given in plain english.
As am IT Journalist i am am more than aware that most novice/beginners are
regedit shy and i wouldn't even recommend anyone who isn't familiar with the
registry to attempt editing it.
My original comment was in response to Richard's original post regarding the
availablity of the MS Baseline security analyser. Had i not have included
the comment about me editing the registry i am sure Richard or Will would
have suggested it.

This new version dropped the /hf and /v switches so I can no longer do quick
checks for patches for SQL, OS, XML, MDAC, etc.
For stand alone computers not using update services like SUS, MU, etc, those
switches were nice features for putting into a batch file to just check for
needed Microsoft updates then output to a text file.

Does Microsoft have any alternatives to easily scan for above patches for
standalone computers? I know that http://www.shavlik.com has full version of
hfnetchk but I don't believe I should have to pay for checking for Microsoft
updates.

Hi,

For MBSA 2.0, Mbsacli.exe /xmlout is what you need to use.

For a couple of MBSACLI 2.0 /xmlout parsing scripts (one by me), take
a look at this thread:
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/microsoft.public.security.baseline_analyzer/browse_frm/thread/0a376c8e8706cadc/5f39f26861db0c03#5f39f26861db0c03

If you want to copy/paste my script, you should do it from this link
to avoid Google encoding issues:
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/microsoft.public.security.baseline_analyzer/msg/0136a0ce0a233c61?dmode=source&hl=en


Note that Microsoft Update Agent 2.0 is required for MBSACLI 2.0,
so if your computers haven't got it yet (from the latest Windows
Update version or a WSUS server or a MBSA installation that have
installed it), you can download and install it from here:

For x86-based computers (WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe)
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=43264

(will work for Win2k SP3 and SP4, WinXP RTM/SP1/SP2, and
Win2k3 RTM/SP1)

For x64-based computers (WindowsUpdateAgent20-x64.exe):
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=43265


Unattended installation command line switches:

WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe /quiet /norestart

Thank you for your reply. Your script seemed to work for my Windows 2003 SP1
server but not for my Windows XP SP2 workstation.
Even though my workstation has latest WUA 5.8.0.2469 installed, I got this
error:

MBSA failed, error was:
The computer is assigned to a SUS 1.0 server. Scanning requires the assigned
server to be an Update Services server.

Nonetheless, the report still does not cover updates for SQL Server and show
versions of currently installed components.
I think I will go back to MBSA 1.2.1 which gives me a nice output such as:

----------------------------
SERVERNAME (55.55.1.100)
----------------------------

* WINDOWS SERVER 2003, STANDARD EDITION SP1

Patch NOT Found MS05-036 901214

* INTERNET INFORMATION SERVICES 6.0 SP1

Patch NOT Found MS05-037 903235

* INTERNET EXPLORER 6.0 FOR WINDOWS SERVER 2003 SP1

Information
All necessary hotfixes have been applied.

* MDAC 2.8 SP2

Information
There are no security updates available for this product.

* MICROSOFT VIRTUAL MACHINE (VM) GOLD
Information
All necessary hotfixes have been applied.

* MSXML 2.6 SP3

Information
There are no security updates available for this product.

* MSXML 3.0 SP7

Information
There are no security updates available for this product.

Warning
The latest service pack for this product is not installed.
Currently SP7 is installed. The latest service pack is SP5.

* MSXML 4.0 SP2

Information
There are no security updates available for this product.

* SQL SERVER 2000 SP4

Information
All necessary hotfixes have been applied.

This above format is better because it shows both the needed updates AND the
versions of currently installed components including SQL, JVM, XML, etc.
Also, the execution of the MBSA with /hf and output to a text file is
extremely fast.
I put the following in a batch file which executes quickly:
C:
CD "\Program Files\Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer"
mbsacli.exe /hf /v /f results.txt
notepad results.txt
