RE: Windows Network Audit Tool Question

Nessus (nessus.org) has a plugin for checking service pack level. Don't see one for querying installed hotfixes, but you might be able to rework this one to return those hotfix regkeys/values. That appears to be all that Winfingerprint does.

IMHO, this is not a very reliable method. Something like Hfnetchk (shavlik.com) which also verifies file versions and checksums would give you a better idea of whether installed hotfixes are still intact.

Subject: Windows Network Audit Tool Question

Greetings,

As an admin of a Windows Domain I am looking for a tool that will provide the same type of information (especially the service pack/patch level) that I can get from Winfingerprint http://winfingerprint.sourceforge.net/ but that will run from a shell on Linux. I suspect that it is possible to do this with the Samba client software but can't find any information on it. Can anyone provide me a starting point or a link to an (open source) tool that provides this functionallity? Thanks.
