>>> The latest version of Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2.1 has been
>>> released for immediate download at
>>>
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=F32921AF-9DBE-4DCE-889E-ECF997EB18E9.

>>> MBSA 2.1
>>>
>>> Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) is an easy-to-use tool that
>>> helps small and medium businesses determine their security state in
>>> accordance with Microsoft security standards. Built on the Windows
>>> Update Agent and Microsoft Update infrastructure, MBSA ensures
>>> consistency with other Microsoft management products including Microsoft
>>> Update (MU), Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Systems Management
>>> Server (SMS), System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2007, and Small
>>> Business Server (SBS). Used by many leading third party security vendors
>>> and security auditors, MBSA on average scans over 3 million computers
>>> each week. Join the thousands of users that depend on MBSA for analyzing
>>> their security and security update compliance.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> New Features found in MBSA 2.1:
>>>
>>> .
>>> Support for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008
>>>
>>> .
>>> Updated graphical user interface
>>>
>>> .
>>> Full support for 64-bit platforms and vulnerability assessment (VA)
>>> checks against 64-bit platforms and components.
>>>
>>> .
>>> Improved support for Windows XP Embedded platform
>>>
>>> .
>>> Improved support for SQL Server 2005 vulnerability assessment (VA)
>>> checks
>>>
>>> .
>>> Automatic Microsoft Update registration and agent update (if
>>> selected) using the graphical interface or from the command-line tool
>>> using the /ia feature
>>>
>>> .
>>> New feature to output completed scan reports to a user-selected
>>> directory path or network share (command-line /rd feature)
>>>
>>> .
>>> Windows Server Update Services 2.0 and 3.0 compatibility
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> Noteworthy changes for users of earlier versions of MBSA:
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> By customer request, the automatic distribution of the latest Windows
>>> Update Agent (WUA) client to client computers when scanned by MBSA has
>>> been disabled by default in MBSA 2.1. MBSA 2.1 will not install any
>>> updated Windows Update Agent binaries on a target computer without
>>> consent from the administrator using the MBSA scan tool. This may
>>> prevent MBSA from successfully scanning computers that don't have the
>>> latest WUA client installed. To increase the number of computers MBSA
>>> can assess, Administrators and security auditors are encouraged to
>>> select the option to 'Configure computers for Microsoft Update and
>>> scanning prerequisites' which was the default behavior in earlier
>>> versions of MBSA. The corresponding command-line feature to
>>> automatically update the WUA client has been added with the new /ia
>>> command-line option.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> Customers also requested the ability to output completed MBSA scan
>>> reports to a directory or network share of their choosing. This has
>>> been implemented in the command-line version of MBSA (mbsacli) only (not
>>> the graphical version) using the new /rd feature.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> Upgrade to MBSA 2.1 today. If you have any questions regarding MBSA,
>>> feel free to post them to the MBSA newsgroup at
>>> microsoft.public.security.baseline_analyzer.
