Tag: Windows Operating System. We installed the Windows OS DST 2007 updates, but we haven’t run anything else. We weren’t sure on what we needed to run next. How can I check to see if the patch I installed is going to work correctly for Windows XP. I changed the date to after DST and the time did not change. Is there something else I.

I have a Windows system that I need to audit. The requirements is that (for example) KB2160329 has been installed onto the system. I know from lots of digging that KB2731847 that we have installed in the environment superseded the earlier KB.
MSkbfiles.com works if you know the file name such as TCPIP.SYS. Doesn't do anything if you are just looking for KB Hotfixes.
How can I say feed in a script that I'm looking for KB2160329 and it can check for superseded patches? Or is there a website somewhere that I'm missing?

I'm looking for a way to say that KB2731847 which is on the system does fix the same issue (plus more fixes) as KB2160329 which is not in the list as being installed on the system.

You can download this spreasheet from Microsoft : http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=245778
It includes all the published security bulletins/KB since June 1998 : severity, impact, title, affected product and also information on superseded bulletins/KB.
Then you just have to script a little bit to smartly compare the installed KB to this list :)
Have you eventually found an easier way ? I'm interested too !

I think that you would have to create your own database of superceded hotfixes.
The following PowerShell will tell you if you have a specific hotfix installed:
You would need to walk through your manually created list checking for the superceded fix. Shouldn't be that hard to do.

Julian Knight's answer shows a way to do this with PowerShell, for regular old CMD, you can try
[wmic qfe list full][2]
. There are several formatting options and you could parse this in your script.You may also want to look into some vulnerability scanners, like Nessus, if that will address your root problem of knowing if systems are vulnerable to specific exploits.

I'm looking to find out if a KB is installed via command line.

In addition to
systeminfo
there is alsowmic qfe
Example:
There is also
update.exe
Or from powershell, just adjust it for your needs:

PowerShell 2.0 contains the get-hotfix cmdlet, which is an easy way to check if a given hotfix is installed on the local computer or a remote computer. An example of the basic syntax is

run 'systeminfo' in a CMD window and it will pull back a load of statistics about your system including what patches are installed.

Some other possibilities: Grep %windir%Windowsupdate.log for the KB number.Or use reg.exe to export the corresponding install keys.

As someone asked about using wmic at a PowerShell prompt, just use Select-String (or sls).
wmic qfe get hotfixid | sls 'KB99999'
The extension.docx is created by Microsoft Office Word 2007. If you are using Microsoft Office 2003 or XP, then you cannot open a file with extension of.docx. There is also option to save file as.doc in Office 2007 so that it can be used on older version of Office suite. Write your documents, CV or any other important notes in Microsoft Office Word 2007. Ms office 2007 professional version get into pc. For example.doc and.docx.
