So you think you are patched, do you?

Sorry for harping on this issue like a broken record but I’m finishing up the new server and just wanted to point out a few things:


Windows update may say I’m patched:





But Shavlik ‘s HfnetchkPro disagrees:



In fact we’re missing 3 service packs and 8 security updates:


 








We’re not done yet!


But even then, we need a bit more patches found on our download page:


The post Exchange sp1 fix up and our ASP.net mitigation to name just a few

    So, err, is there any Microsoft-approved way of making sure our SBS boxes are all patched and up-to-date?

    At the moment i’m using Windows Update + Baseline Security Analyzer.

    MBSA misses ISA Server. At this time Windows Update Services [WUS] is still in beta but the intent is that it will patch all parts of our boxes.
