The previous MBSA detection engine has been replaced with the Windows Update Agent, and it has been fully integrated into the MBSA-style scan. For users accustomed to the /HF mode of scanning in previous versions of MBSA, a lightweight solution requiring only Mbsacli.exe and Wusscan.dll is provided using the /xmlout (xml data) parameter. This parameter provides basic output to the console in XML format, making integration with other solutions fast and easy. The output includes all the data elements of the /HF mode and more.
