Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) is the scanning tool that is used by SMS. MBSA can detect computers that require the security update that is documented in Microsoft security bulletin MS05-014. However, MBSA cannot provide SMS with the information regarding supported operating systems for this update. For example, MBSA indicates that this update is compatible with Windows NT 4.0 even though it is not. The SMS deployment package is designed to prevent any installation of this incompatible update in Windows NT 4.0. If you install the update on Windows NT 4.0-based computers without using the SMS deployment package, installation failures will occur on the client computers.

To resolve this problem, Microsoft has released an SMS deployment package to the Microsoft Download Center. The SMS deployment package includes the following items:

•	The IE6.0sp1-KB867282-SMS-Deploy-KB892937-x86-ENU.exe file.
•	A script that detects the operating system on SMS client computers and that prevents installation in Windows NT 4.0.

After security update MS05-014 is approved in the Distribute Software Updates Wizard, SMS will download the SMS deployment package instead of the specified security update that is documented in Microsoft security bulletin MS05-014.

Important If you authorize security update MS05-014 for languages other than English, French, German, or Japanese, you must manually download the SMS deployment package for the appropriate language. You must also manually download the SMS deployment packages for the appropriate languages if the following conditions are true:

•	You are using the English version of the security catalog.
•	You are scanning French, German, or Japanese client computers.

Frequently asked questions

Q1: What is the difference between the security update that is included in the SMS deployment package and the security update that is documented in Microsoft security bulletin MS05-014?

A1: There is no difference in the security update in the SMS deployment package and the security update that is documented in Microsoft security bulletin MS05-014.

Q2: Does the SMS deployment package support security update MS05-014 for other versions of Internet Explorer?

A2: No. The deployment package contains only a security update for Internet Explorer 6 SP1 when it is used with Windows 2000 or with Windows XP. Security update MS05-14 for other versions of Internet Explorer can be detected and deployed by using SMS. There is no requirement for a separate SMS deployment package.

Q3: I have Internet Explorer 6 SP1 running in a homogenous environment with only one type of operating system. For example, my SMS client computers only run Windows 2000. Must I use the SMS deployment package, or can I deploy the security update that is documented in Microsoft security bulletin MS05-014?

A3: You can use the SMS deployment package, or you can manually download and deploy the specific operating system update that is documented in security bulletin MS05-14.
