Use -s option to suppress note and warning message.

There are some instances where Hfnetchk.exe is not able to determine the
patch installation status because the detailed file and registry key
information is not available for the specified security bulletin or patch.
Refer to Q306460 for more information.

Hi,

Several systems folks here have run into the issue of hfnetchk reporting
"Patch NOT Found" after applying the appropriate patches and rebooting. This
seem to be consistent of both NT and 2000 (though I haven't replicated this
issue myself). Anyone run into this issue with hfnetchk.exe?

here's one particular patch on an NT 4.0 sp6a server:

Patch NOT Found MS02-006 Q314147

Ideas?

Jared
