You must copy the catalog file to the local computer before attempting the scan and supply a local path to the file. When using the MBSA command-line tool (Mbsacli.exe) to scan the local computer, you cannot use a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path or a mapped network drive as the argument to the /catalog (offline catalog file) parameter. Valid example commands include: Mbsacli.exe /catalog wsusscn2.cab (current directory) Mbsacli.exe /catalog c:\catalogs\wsusscn2.cab (fully qualified path) Mbsacli.exe /catalog \folder\wsusscn2.
