Guest Tyrel Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 I am using the WUA API to scan machines for available updates. These machines do sometimes have access to the Internet, but not always. So I am using the offline scan package (wsusscn2.cab) to scan these machines. However, I have discovered (by extracting the cab file and what's inside it) that my scans on these machines are returning updates that aren't even in the CAB file! Why am I getting updates returned from a scan that aren't in the CAB file, and how can I prevent this from happening? Thanks.
Guest MowGreen [MVP] Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Good question. I'm sure you've seen this, right ?: Changes to the WSUSScan.cab file http://support.microsoft.com/kb/924513 Hmmmm .... > Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Automatic Update (AU), Microsoft Update, and > Windows Update are not affected by these changes because these services use an online > mechanism for distribution. If said workstations have *any* access to the net than that would explain why. By " WUA API " you are referring to Vista workstations, correct ?
