    I have been using Update Expert (v6.0 build 6069) regularly for several
    months to install Service Packs and hotfixes. After reviewing your post
    below, I had to ensure if my systems were properly patched. This is what I
    found:

    I verified 3 Windows 2000 server systems in which I installed security
    patches with Update Expert(v.6.0 build 6069), the Update Expert console
    claims that the patches have been installed. When I verified my patches
    with Windows Update, it also claims that there are no missing patches.
    Then, I verified my patches via MBSA and it claims that there are 14
    missing patches.
