Hi Aker and Gerby,
thank you a lot for your detailed explanation.
I have checked MBSA documentation and it seems that security updates for all of the following products are included in WSUSSCN2.CAB:
Microsoft® Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) checks to ensure that you have the latest security updates, update rollups and service packs for all products being serviced by the Microsoft Update site. This includes, but is not limited to the following:
•Microsoft® Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2
•Internet Information Server (IIS) 5.0, 5.1 and IIS 6.0
•SQL Server™ 2000 and 2005 (including Microsoft Data Engine)
•Internet Explorer 5.01 and later
•Windows Media Player 6.4 and later
•Exchange Server 2000, 2003 and 2005 (including Exchange administrative tools)
•Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) - all supported versions
•Microsoft Virtual Machine (VM)
•MSXML - all supported versions
•Microsoft Office XP (2002), Office System 2003 and Office 2007
•.Net Framework 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and later
•Microsoft DirectX
See the Microsoft Web site for the current list of products
Security update checks are performed by using information obtained directly from the Microsoft Update site (online), a Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server, or from an offline catalog (CAB) file when offline
Isn't it possible to "simply" download all security updates for all products listed above using the WSUSSCN2 catalog? (and not static links)
But maybe I just missed some important piece of information.
Thank you again for your time and explanation!
Cheers,
M.
