I just read some info at this link
http://www.microsoft.com/smserver/downloads/2003/featurepacks/suspack/default.asp,
and it states that "These enhanced tools, called the Security Update
Inventory Tool and the Microsoft Office Inventory Tool for Updates, can only
be used with an SMS 2003 site hierarchy, or on SMS 2.0 sites and client
computers that report to the SMS 2003 site." So does this mean that SMS20
SUS FP is basically no longer supported, and that my options are to either
roll back to using MBSA1.1.1, and use incomplete catalogs, or to upgrade my
exsisting SMS20 site to using SMS2003 where MBSA 1.2 is supported.
