I had the same behaviour on a win2k machine -

this is a snmp patch - if you don't have snmp installed - the patch will
run correctly but hfnetchk will not report it -

IMHO

It is possible that either the patch was included in a roll-up (although
I don't believe that is the case in this instance) or that the file
attributes are for some reason different than what hfnetchk is looking
for. See the table below in regards to Q314147:

GMT-UTC Date Time Version Size File name
   -------------------------------------------------------
   25-Feb-2002 20:08 4.0.1381.7136 50,960 INETMIB1.DLL
   20-Feb-2002 16:18 4.0.1381.7134 17,680 MGMTAPI.DLL
   20-Feb-2002 16:19 4.0.1381.7134 18,192 SNMP.EXE
   20-Feb-2002 16:19 4.0.1381.7134 24,848 SNMPAPI.DLL
   13-Feb-1999 00:02 4.0.1381.164 14,608 SNMPSFX.DLL

In addition, it is possible, but not likely, that the person executing
the scans does not have "read" access to a place in the file system
where hfnetchk is searching.

Hope this helps

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
