Scanning remote pc's w/ MBSA & SUS...

Hi,

I'm trying to implement MBSA and SUS into my current environment. Here are
my issues that are causing problem. What I'm trying to do is scan remote
computers w/ MBSA and update them w/ approved updates through SUS. What is
making this hard is that the computers are behind a router. So they don't
get individual ip address. I normally access a specific computer w/ port
forwarding. So what I'm wondering is if I'm able to scan those computers w/
MBSA and how? Normally MBSA uses ports 139 & 445, but because I'm using port
forwarding, how can I scan each individual computer and get a report back?

And after I get that figured out, then I'm going to tackle integrating SUS
with MBSA as well. But I figured that I'd just get MBSA working first...but
using SUS in conjunction is the overall goal.

Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Aloha,
Steven
