A quick side note not to confuse MBSA or Shavlik with how Retina or
others do it. Retina is able to detect the patch as missing, as Shavlik
and MBSA do, (registry/file, which requires admin creds) but we also are
able to remotely identify a vulnerable system without requiring
authenticated credentials. That obviously makes it easier to find
vulnerable systems on a Class B network because really who has
credentials for a whole Class B and even if you miraculously did then
what about all the systems you don't know about that are unmanaged and
you definitely don't have access too. This is just one reason why stuff
like MBSA is great for very small shops but is really unreasonable for
any real network. Shavlik and others obviously are really meant more for
patching, which means systems you know, so while it's a deficiency that
they cant truly give you a view of vulnerability within your Class B
network it's a limitation that is probably something they are not
meaning to address in the first place, again because they do patch
management instead of vulnerability management.

I dunno if you've solved this or not, but the tenable ones are usually
just templates that look for different hotfixes.
The source for this particular one is on their website at:
http://www.nessus.org/plugins/index.php?view=viewsrc&id=19402
and you can see what it looks for.
Assuming you have admin access to this class B network you could use the
nessus plugin, or script something to mount the admin share and look for
the hotfix.
Alternatively http://hfnetchk.shavlik.com/ can also check for hotfixes
remotely again assuming you have admin access.
Jeff.
