script must check for the updates you are looking for referencing a text
file that contains the list. The link below is another one I found on how it
works that may be of interest and below that is a sample .vbs file from
Microsoft for checking for updates. --- Steve

' SAMPLE SCRIPT - CheckHotFixes.vbs
'
*****************************************************************************
' Description - This Script finds if any critical OS updates (Hot Fixes)
' are missing on the Client machine or not.
' Administrator is required to provide a list of Hot Fixes
mandated
' to be installed on the Client Machine in order to remove it
from
' Quarantine. <refer the file: HotFixIdList.txt>
' Format for specifying the Hot Fixes in the Text file:
' <HotFix Id 1>
' <HotFix Id 2>
' ...
' * This list of required Hotfixes can either be packaged with
the
' * CM profile (along with other script files) OR it can be
made
' * downloadable from a server share at execution time.
' * Admin must make provisions to update this list of required
' * Hotfixes regularly.

' Windows 2000
' Windows 2000 Advanced Server
' Windows 2000 Professional Edition
' Windows 2000 Server
' Windows Server 2003

'
' Usage - CheckHotFixes.vbs <filename>
' where filename is the file listing the Hot-Fix-ID
of all
