Looks useful. Thanks.

>There is a tools that offers you the list of missing patches, but you do need access to the internet so it can see what patches are available for your OS

In our case (medical devices), it doesn't matter which patches are available, since we can only apply patches that have been approved. We are sent lists of which patches are approved.

>(Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer), and you can get it and download it from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/tools/mbsahome.mspx

I tried this earlier today, but it doesn't list the patches by MS or KB number. Very odd.
