Network Deployment of SP2

[Eric Lanyon]

Is there a utility or prgram that will interrogate the network and report who
does and does not have SP2 installed? Something along the lines of the
utility that checked for the Blaster hotfix. I know MBSA...but that's a pain
to use when checking hundreds of machines on a network....

Eric,

Short of your learning VisualBasic / WMI scripting, try PSInfo which is part of
PSTools (free) from <http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pstools.shtml>.
PSInfo will enumerate all the computers on your network, and return a nice
assortment of critical information about each computer, including SP level.

MBSA has a command line mode, and you can output scan results into a CSV or
other file that can then be read into Excel.
