MBSA uses files that it downloads from the Internet, but the computer I want to use to scan my network doesn have Internet access. How can I use MBSA in an offline and secure environment?
You can either perform the scan using the mbsacli command-line utility with the /nd (do not download) parameter, or you can perform the scan using the GUI. Before scanning you must copy the necessary files to the computer performing the scan. Four types of files are required: • Security update catalog (wsusscn2.cab), available from the Microsoft Web site • Windows Update Redistribution Catalog (wuredist.cab) located at http://update.microsoft.com/redist/wuredist.cab • Authorization catalog (muauth.cab) for Windows Update site access, available from the Microsoft Web site or by examining the contents of the wuredist.cab file located at http://update.microsoft.com/redist/wuredist.cab • Windows Update Agent standalone installers (if not already installed): • For x86-based computers (WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe) or • For x64-based computers (WindowsUpdateAgent30-x64.exe) or • For ia64-based computers (WindowsUpdateAgent30-ia64.
