I haven't looked closely into what Patchmeister does exactly, but I wonder
how they can still manage to sell these products when MS already has the
Baseline Security Analyzer for free download
<http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/tools/Tools/mbsaqa.asp>. And
it's also officially supported. It's developed by Shavlik as well and
supercedes HFNetCheck.
It does local and network scans on NT, 2K and XP. It appears that the only
difference is that it doesn't check for Exchange. But considering that it
checks for all security updates, weak passwords and open shares, it's
pretty comprehensive.
