Does MBSA 2.1 support the same products as MBSA 1.2.1?
No. For vulnerability assessment (VA) checks, MBSA 1.2.1 and 2.0 support the same products. For security update detection, MBSA supports all products supported by Microsoft Update, which is the official source for all security updates for products supported by Microsoft Update. Some products have not yet been added to Microsoft Update and therefore updates to these products are not yet available. This includes Office 2000 and various consumer applications, as well as products that are out of support, such as Windows NT 4. Microsoft recommends that customers who primarily have Windows 2000+, Office XP+, Exchange 2000+, and SQL 2000 SP4+ environments should upgrade to MBSA 2.1. Over time, all Microsoft products will be supported through Microsoft Update and the latest version of MBSA will automatically support them. No new products will be added to MBSA 1.2.1 as it is no longer supported. You can find more information about supported versions of MBSA at the MBSA home page.
