MSBA and WSUS

Can you tailor MSBA to point at your own WSUS? For instance on a closed
network that does not have internet access, but you do have a WSUS Server.

Readers of the WSUS NG are more likely to know this.

BTW you might get further with your research if you called it MBSA ; )

It has its own newsgroup too, also not found easily by its usual acronym...

microsoft.public.security.baseline_analyzer


Good luck

Yes indeed... In the MBSA console when setting up a scan the last check box
reads Advanced Update Services options...check this and you will be able to
choose your inhouse WSUS server or Microsoft Server. The scan will use the
WSUS server that is assigned to the machine(s) that are being scanned.

Hope this helps!
