SUMMARY

As part of an ongoing commitment to provide detection tools and deployment recommendations for security updates, Microsoft is delivering this detection and deployment guidance for all updates that are released during a Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) release cycle. This guidance contains recommendations that are based on the types of scenarios that may exist in various Microsoft operating system environments. This guidance includes the use of tools such as Microsoft Windows Update, Microsoft Office Update, the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA), the Office Detection Tool, Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS), the Extended Security Update Inventory Tool, and the Enterprise Scan Tool (EST).


INTRODUCTION

This article describes the detection and deployment guidance for the security release that is dated September 12, 2006.

Any exceptions are in the following list.

  • 910729 (security bulletin MS06-054)

MBSA 2.0 does not support the Publisher 2000 part of this security update.

Notes

  • The Office Detection Tool part of MBSA 1.2.1 is limited to local scans only.
  • MBSA 1.2.1 does not support any x64-based or Itanium-based versions of Windows.

Environments that detect and deploy security updates by using Software Update Services or Windows Server Update Services

Environments that detect and deploy security updates by using SMS 2.0 together with the Security Update Inventory Tool (SUIT) or SMS 2003 together with the Inventory Tool for Microsoft Updates (ITMU)

If you use SMS 2.0 together with the Security Update Inventory Tool (SUIT) or if you use SMS 2003 together 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 September 12, 2006. Any exceptions are in the following list.

  • 910729 (security bulletin MS06-054)

SMS 2003 ITMU does not support the Publisher 2000 part of this security update.

Frequently asked questions

Q1: What is Microsoft doing to provide guidance about how to deploy these updates?

A1: Microsoft encourages system administrators to join the monthly technical webcast to learn more about security updates. The webcast for this security update airs on September 13, 2006, at 11:00 A.M. (Pacific Time). To register, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

Q2: Is the Enterprise Scan Tool (EST) cumulative as the Extended Security Update Inventory Tool is for SMS?

A2: No, EST is not cumulative. There are no plans to make it cumulative.

Q3: Can I use MBSA to determine whether these updates are required?

A3: Yes, you can use MBSA 1.2.1 and MBSA 2.0 to fully detect the requirement for the following security updates that were released on September 12, 2006, except where noted.

Microsoft Knowledge Base Article Security Bulletin ID Component Detection Note
910729 MS06-054 Publisher See the MBSA section for more information

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

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


895660 Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) 2.0 is available


If you installed a program that is listed in the "Affected software" section of a security bulletin and 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 MBSA, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

Q4: Which security updates require that I use EST together with MBSA to identify vulnerable systems on a network?

A4: There are no security updates this month that require EST for detection.

Q5: Can I use SMS to determine whether the updates are required?

A5: Yes. SMS helps detect and deploy these security updates. When you use SMS 2.0 or SMS 2003 together with SUIT, you are using MBSA 1.2.1 technology for detection. Therefore, SMS 2.0 and SMS 2003 have limitations that resemble the limitations of MBSA 1.2.1. For more information about SMS, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

You must use SUIT together with the Extended Security Update Inventory Tool to detect all the security updates for Microsoft Windows and for 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



When you use SMS 2.0 or SMS 2003 together with SUIT, you are using the Microsoft Office Inventory Tool to detect the required security updates for Microsoft Office programs such as Microsoft Word.

Alternatively, SMS 2003 customers can use ITMU to detect and deploy security updates. This tool uses technology from Microsoft Updates. For more information about ITMU, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
