I just downloaded and ran MBSA 1.2.1 against a server that
I fully patched last night. MBSA is saying 2 critical
updates are missing and 11 cannot be confirmed. How
credible is MBSA if on a fully patched machine it does not
show that the machine is fully patched?

Confused!!!!!

Ditto ... I really hate MBSA for always coming back with "Can not confirm" etc ... when you KNOW that particular update is installed.
