INTRODUCTION

This article describes the Hotfix Scan Tool (HotfixScanTool.vbs). You can use this tool to scan for hotfixes that may regress when you install Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2). You can also use this tool to determine regressed hotfixes after you install Windows Server 2003 SP2.

MORE INFORMATION

How to obtain the tool

To obtain the Hotfix Scan Tool, visit the following internal Microsoft Web sites.

Hotfix Scan Tool for Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 Deployment

Hotfix Scan Tool for Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 Deployment (x64)

Hotfix Scan Tool for Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 Deployment (Itanium)

Tool details

The Hotfix Scan Tool is a Visual Basic script file. After you install the tool, the HotfixScanTool.vbs file is located in the %windir%\System32 folder.

The Hotfix Scan Tool behaves differently depending on whether you run this tool in the original release version of Windows Server 2003, in Windows Server 2003 with SP1, or in Windows Server 2003 with SP2. If you run this tool before you install Windows Server 2003 SP2, the tool displays the list of hotfixes that may regress when you install Windows Server 2003 SP2. Then, the tool blocks the installation of Windows Server 2003 SP2. If you run this tool after you install Windows Server 2003 SP2, the tool displays only a list of regressed hotfixes.

The Hotfix Scan Tool writes its output to a text file in the folder where the tool is running. The name of the text file is ComputerName_log.txt.

Command-line switches

To run the Hotfix Scan Tool, run the following command at a command prompt:

cscript %windir%\system32\HotfixScanTool.vbs switches


The following table lists the command-line switches.
