<cmd_output OS="XPsp2">
F:\>set /a c= 0x3F3
1011
F:\>net helpmsg %c%

The configuration registry key could not be opened.
</cmd_output>

If you can't find any logs created by the program I would try running ProcMon
to see what specifically is happening when this message is issued.

You are more likely to find help with MBSA issues in a newsgroup

Good luck

It sounds like you don't have the necessary prerequisites enabled (Server,
Workstation, Remote Registry and File and Print services) enabled to perform
a scan. Please see the MBSA help included with the MBSA installation or the
MBSA FAQ linked from the MBSA Home Page at www.microsoft.com/mbsa

Didn't help what? Those tips are for fixing problem symptoms with WU.
Your problem symptoms are with MBSA, so it is not surprising that they didn't help.

BTW I just noticed that the error code you are reporting on your Subject line
is different from the one you reported in your description. Which one is correct?

I start from the begining ;-)

When i use this command:
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2\mbsacli.exe" /catalog
\drift\temp\wsusscn2.cab

I get this error on differnet servers:
An error occurred while scanning for security updates. (0xc80003f3)
or
An error occurred while scanning for security updates. (0x8007000e)

If I ad the switch /wi

%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2\mbsacli.exe" /catalog
\drift\temp\wsusscn2.cab /wi

Some servers work and outhers i get this error insted:
Cannot load security CAB file.

Any hints?

Regards Pierre

Pierre - it seems your WIndows Update Agent is corrupt. You'll need to
follow the steps you tried before, but with specific steps you may have
missed. Please try the following:

> net stop wuauserv
> Rename (or delete) the SoftwareDistribution folder in C:\Windows
> net start wuauserv

Then try a new MBSA scan once again.
