Further MS Baseline Security Analyzer issues ...
When I run the analyzer, I have to manually pre-pend 'workgroup' in front of
the name of my computer to get it to resolve the system to scan (my home system). That's not really a big deal. But then it tells me that it can't access the xml data file. I just read the MS white paper on this tool and the xml file is downloaded from ms each time the tool is run, and is how the tool gets the information it needs about what updates are necessary and stuff. Then it also tells me it can't tell what file system my HD is (its ntfs). And, I don't know if this is related, but I can't open my security center applet. Most of the apps that it checks up on, I deliberately don't have installed ( to minimize the 'attack surface' ), so when it reports that it can't access the xml file for that app, that's perhaps understandable, if a little strange (if the app isn't installed why doesn't it just say so, or simply skip that check altogether?). But why does it say that in relation to the windows security updates? It won't save the reports when its finished either, I had to cut and paste the following straight off the report. If anyone can help me with this I would really appreciate i because I'm going to great lengths to secure my system --- I refuse to get hacked like last time. Computer name: workgroup\user-d8c0etc IP address: 24.86.**.*** Security report name: workgroup - user-d8c0.etc (12-28-2004 12-17 PM) Scan date: 12/28/2004 12:17 PM Scanned with MBSA version: 1.2.4013.0 Security update database version: Security updates scan not performed Security assessment: Incomplete Scan (Could not complete one or more requested checks.)
