Re: HotfixScanTool.vbs doesn't work

I ran this on Windows 2003 R2 with SP2 already installed. I was looking to
see if any hotfixes need to be reapplied that were listed in the article. I
only used the /V switch.

Hey Bruce again,

Also what OS are your servers running? and what command did you use to run
HotFixScanTool.vbs?

FYI:
To run the Hotfix Scan Tool, run the following command at a command prompt:
cscript %windir%\system32\HotfixScanTool.vbs switches

The following table lists the command-line switches.Command-line switch
Description
When no switch is used, the tool detects whether regressed hotfixes are
present. The tool also blocks the installation of Windows Server 2003 SP2 if
the service pack has not yet been installed.
/d Unblock the installation of Windows Server 2003 SP2.
/v Log more detailed information in the output text file.
/q Run in quiet mode. In quiet mode, the tool logs information only. No
output is displayed.
/help Display the syntax of this tool.
/? Same as /help.
/h Same as /help.

I have tried HotfixScanTool.vbs on two servers running Win2K3 R2 SP2 to
check
for regressed hotfixes. I got the same error on both servers. Google did
not show anything for this error:

HotfixScanTool.vbs(613, 5) SWbemObjectEx: Unexpected error

Any one know of this error?
