MBSA does not need to be installed on the remote systems that it scans.
Are you aware of the commandline (mbsacli) ?
In a cmd window cd to the install dir of MBSA and issue mbsacli ?
To remotely scan this way one does need to be able to access the
system with an account recognized as admin, and certain things
need to be enabled (remote registry, and one other that skips the
mind right now, and the C$ needs to exist whether the actual admin
share or one otherwise defined with admin access), plus the system
must let the scanning system past its firewall.

Other than that, if you script, all that you mention is available via
WMI, which only requires WMI support on remote system (i.e.
DCOM not disabled) and the Remote Management exception in
the firewall (be sure to scope it down to minimum IPs).

We are doing patch management and I need a command besides "VER" to let
us
adit OS with SP ....
I can't use the GUI, it must be character based with hotfixes.
MBSA is good but I need this on all Windows systems. Almost a mini MBSA,
we
have admins and systems that cannot connect to the devices, nor can we
install MBSA.
I need Microsoft's best built-in command line utility for revealing the
OS
and patch level.

Thanks,
Gregg Dotoli
