Post subject:  how to detect required office patches?

Hallo,


I use MBSA (not hfnetchk) to detect required OS patches.
How can I detect that Office patches need to be applied?
I have MBSA 2.0 installed.
The windows update web site can check office, but offline?

MBSA 2.0 & 2.01 Can check for missing Office patches!

You need to use the MBSA command line interface (mbsacli.exe) and you also need to download the offline catalog file.

from M$:

[quote]Q. What kind of paths can I use with the /catalog (offline catalog file) command-line parameter for a local scan?
A. You must copy the catalog file to the local computer before attempting the scan and supply a local path to the file.

I believe you can download [url=http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/updateservices/default.mspx]Windows Server Update Services[/url] for free. That would pretty much do what you want. You also then control which updates are applied to computers and when. Pretty nice.
