SUMMARY
Microsoft has updated the Security Patch feature in the Systems Management Server (SMS) Software Update Services Feature Pack to use the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) version 1.1 as its security scan tool. This updated tool integrates the scan results for the MBSA v1.1 into the inventory of the SMS client computers that are based on Windows NT and later operating systems. This update includes the latest released version of Mbsacli.exe version 1.1. Microsoft has also enabled patch detection for the following products::
- Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000
- Microsoft Windows Media Player
Note: If you add new software updates for additional products, for example SQL Server or Exchange server, you must perform additional pre-deployment testing.

How to Install the Hotfix
To upgrade to this version, you must remove the existing installation. However, you can keep the existing SMS objects that you used during that existing deployment. In this case Setup reuses these objects, and much of the setup process involves copying over the newer files. When Setup has completed, review the settings for the package, program, collections and advertisements to make sure that they are appropriate for your environment. The settings that Setup used are reasonable default settings, but they may not suit all environments. This is especially true if a previous deployment used customized settings.
To install the hotfix, run the appropriate SecurityPatch setup program, SecurityPatch_xxx.exe (where xxx is the three-digit language code).
Note: Setup detects and removes previous installations of the Security Patch. Permit Setup to remove and re-create the collections, packages, programs, and advertisements that a previous install of the Security Patch created. If you have customized any of these objects, you must re-apply those customizations to the newly created objects.
MORE INFORMATION
The Security Patch originally used the Microsoft Network Security Hotfix Checker (HFNetChk) version 3.32 as its security scan tool. Now it uses MBSA. For additional information about MBSA, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
