Note Not every update is available on every Web site that is listed.

Environments that detect security updates by using the MBSA version 1.2.1 or MBSA version 2.0
If you use the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) version 1.2.1 which contains an integrated version of the Office Detection Tool (ODT) or Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer version 2.0 to detect security updates, you can detect most of the security updates that released on August 8, 2006. Details are as follows.

Note The Office Detection Tool part of MBSA 1.2.1 is limited to local scans only.

Note MBSA 1.2.1 does not support any Windows x64 editions or Windows Itanium-based systems.
 * Security update 920214 (MS06-043)

MBSA 1.2.1 does not support any part of this security update. The August 2006 Enterprise Scan Tool will support this part of the security update
 * Security update 921645 (MS06-047)

MBSA 2.0 does not support the Office 2000, Project 2000, Access 2000 parts of this security update. MBSA 1.2.1 and MBSA 2.0 do not support the VBA SDK 6.0, 6.2, 6.3, or 6.4 parts of this security update. There will not be any EST available for the VBA SDK 6.0, 6.2, 6.3, or 6.4 parts of this security update.

894193 How to obtain and use the Enterprise Scan Tool

Environments that detect and that deploy security updates by using Software Update Services or Windows Server Update Services
If you use Software Update Services (SUS) or Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) to detect and to deploy security updates, you can detect most security updates that released on August 8, 2006. The details are in the following list.

Note SUS 1.0 SP1 does not support any Windows x64 editions or Windows Itanium-based systems.
 * Security update 921645 (MS06-047)

SUS does not support any part of this security update. WSUS does not support the Office 2000, Project 2000, Access 2000 or the VBA SDK 6.0, 6.2, 6.3, or 6.4 parts of this security update.
 * Security update 922968 (MS06-048)

SUS does not support any part of this security update. WSUS does not support the Office 2000 or PowerPoint 2000 parts of this security update.

Environments that detect and that deploy security updates by using SMS 2.0 with the Security Update Inventory Tool (SUIT) or SMS 2003 with the Inventory Tool for Microsoft Updates (ITMU)
If you use Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0 with the Security Update Inventory Tool (SUIT) or SMS 2003 with the Inventory Tool for Microsoft Updates (ITMU) to detect and to deploy security updates, you can detect and deploy most security updates that were released on August 8, 2006.

Note SMS 2.0 does not support any Windows x64 editions or Windows Itanium-based systems.
 * Security update 920214 (MS06-043)

SMS 2.0 only supports scanning for this update by using the Extended Security Update Inventory Tool (ESUIT).
 * Security update 921645 (MS06-047)

SMS 2003 does not support the Office 2000, Project 2000, Access 2000 parts of this security update. SMS 2.0 and SMS 2003 do not support the VBA SDK 6.0, 6.2, 6.3, or 6.4 parts of this security update.
 * Security update 922968 (MS06-048)

SMS 2003 does not support the Office 2000 or PowerPoint 2000 parts of this security update.

Summary of detection and deployment guidance
The following table summarizes the detection and deployment guidance for each new security update.

Re-released security updates
Security update 887219 (MS05-004) was re-released on August 8. For more information, see the following updated bulletin:

The detection and deployment information that is listed in the February 2005 Detection and Deployment guide has not changed because of the following re-release:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894192/

Frequently asked questions
<ol> <li>What is Microsoft doing to provide guidance about how to deploy these updates?

Microsoft encourages system administrators to join the monthly technical webcast to learn more about security updates. The webcast for this security update airs on August 9, 2006 at 11:00 A.M. (Pacific Time). To register, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?EventID=1032303531&EventCategory=5&culture=en-US&CountryCode=US

</li> <li>Is the Enterprise Scan Tool also cumulative as the Extended Security Update Inventory Tool is for SMS?

No, the Enterprise Scan tool is not cumulative. There are no plans to make the Enterprise Scan tool cumulative.</li> <li>Can I use the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) tool to determine whether these updates are required?

Yes, you can use the MBSA 1.2.1 and 2.0 to fully detect the need for the following security updates that released on August 8, 2006, except where noted:

For more information about the programs that the MBSA currently does not detect, click the following article numbers to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

306460 Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 1.2.1 (MBSA) returns note messages for some updates

895660 Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2.0 is Available

If you installed a program that is listed in the &quot;Affected software&quot; section of a security bulletin that is mentioned in the related article, you may have to manually determine whether you must install the required security update. For more information about the MBSA, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/tools/mbsahome.mspx

</li> <li>Which security updates require that I use the Enterprise Scan Tool together with the MBSA to identify vulnerable systems on my network? </li> <li>Can I use Systems Management Server (SMS) to determine whether the updates are required?

Yes. SMS helps detect and deploy these security updates. SMS 2.0 and SMS 2003 with the Software Updates Inventory Tool use MBSA 1.2.1 technology for detection. Therefore, SMS 2.0 and SMS 2003 with the Software Updates Inventory Tool have similar limitations to MBSA 1.2.1. For more information about SMS, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/smserver/default.mspx

The Security Update Inventory Tool together with the Extended Security Update Inventory Tool are required for detection of all the security updates on Microsoft Windows and on other affected Microsoft products. For more information about the limitations of the Security Update Inventory Tool, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

306460 Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) returns note messages for some updates

SMS 2.0 and SMS 2003 with the Software Updates Inventory Tool also use the Microsoft Office Inventory Tool to detect the required security updates for Microsoft Office programs, such as Microsoft Word.

Alternatively, SMS 2003 customers can also use the Inventory Tool for Microsoft Updates (ITMU) to detect and deploy security updates. ITMU uses technology from Microsoft Updates. For more information about ITMU, visit the following Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/smserver/downloads/2003/tools/msupdates.mspx
