Just as a followup to the discussion about reporting tools for SUS I though I would send out the following links of what seem to be decent tools for reporting SUS activity. ASP.Net, MS SQL Server and Active Directory: http://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/fwua ASP.Net and SQL Server: http://forums.susserver.com/index.php?showtopic=964 PHP and MySQL or MS SQL Server http://forums.susserver.com/index.php?showtopic=638 ASP.Net with no o database: http://forums.susserver.com/index.php?showtopic=417 We are going to toy around with #2 as it seems to have the most functionality with out requiring AD, but are holding on implementing until after SUS/WUS 2.0 is released. ________________________________________________ Stephen Bogdanski Network Support, MSU-CVM Michigan State University [log in to unmask] A227 VetMed Center Phone: (517) 353-5551 East Lansing, MI 48824 Fax: (517) 432-2937 >>> Chris Wolf <[log in to unmask]> 02/27/04 11:27AM >>> At 10:16 AM 2/27/2004, John Valenti wrote: >I ended up setting up a Microsoft SUS server, which works fairly >well to push out critical/security patches.

We just set up SUS a couple of weeks ago, and I've been using Microsoft's Baseline Security Analyzer to check that patches get installed. However, it appears that MBSA cannot scan any of our computers that have the Win XP firewall (ICF) enabled. Has anyone else dealt with this problem (and solved it)? Does the ICF also interfere with HFnetchk? --Chris ============================================== Chris Wolf Computer Service Manager Agricultural Economics [log in to unmask] Michigan State University 517 353-5017
