Tomcat76 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 This is a problem. It's no longer freeware but there was a period during which the old page which contained a link to the freeware executable still existed on their server (even though it wasn't linked to their new site anymore). It looks like they removed this page now too... EDIT: Haha... Thank god for the waybackmachine... HFNetChk 3.86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tain Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I'm now hosting another copy "just in case."I'll post a link in a day or two after I am done monkeying with my DNS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super-Magician Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 EDIT: Haha... Thank god for the waybackmachine... HFNetChk 3.86Sorry, but although that URL leads us to an archive of the page, the actual file which the page links to does not exist. I think we would be better off with TAiN's link.

ravashaak Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer is free and can perform the same functions via its command line component, mbsacli.exe. Version 2.0 can still output results in plaintext files, if you know the proper syntax. - Ravashaak Edited June 23, 2006 by ravashaak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we would be better off with TAiN's link.The file was downloadable before; I wouldn't have posted the link if it wasn't. I could find another archived page but TAiN's link is more reliable, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramy Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) Yep, I snagged a copy myself just incase it suddenly vanished, as it did.Edit: Ravashaak, would you care to share that syntax? Or should we just use /? on the exe to get it? I don't have MBSA, so I don't really need to know, but posting how to do it might be helpful for someone else.

Tomcat76 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I tried to figure that out myself but it looks someone else might have to help us out.I tried:C:\mbsacli.exe /n Password /wa /nvc /nm /nd >C:\WU.TXTThis failed because it requires MBSA to be installed.Then this:C:\mbsacli.exe /xmlout /wa /nvc >C:\WU.TXTThis downloads something but then fails with an error message saying that my computer is not on a server or something. At the second attempt, the error message displays immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tain Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 That's cool by me. I can't think of any reason why this link would change...the other links I've posted were subject to upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnakeOiler Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 <snip>Then this:C:\mbsacli.exe /xmlout /wa /nvc >C:\WU.TXTThis downloads something but then fails with an error message saying that my computer is not on a server or something. At the second attempt, the error message displays immediately.mbsacli 2.0 requires that the Window Update agent 2.0 be installed. Other than that, you need the latest security update catalog (wsusscan.cab). Use the /nd switch to keep from downloading anything. mbsacli /nd /nvc /wi /xmlout /catalog wsusscan.cab > scan.xmlThis will give me an xml report, but I can't do anything with it. The documentation says mbsacli has report switches, but I can't seem to use them: 1) you can't use them in conjunction with scanning switches, 2) I can't even run mbsacli without using the /xmlout switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
