Click Edit and select:
| • | Configure the behavior of the Windows Update (WUA) (select Check for missing security updates from Windows Update. If your organization blocks updates from Windows Update, select Check for missing security updates from Microsoft System Center). |
| • | Update Server Type (select OS Default, Managed Windows Update, Official Windows Update, Official Microsoft Update or Use offline method (CAB) from the drop-down list): |
| • | OS Default: allows the Windows Update Agent on a device being scanned to use whatever option is currently registered. This option can be controlled by enterprise policy settings or locally on the machine, depending on the environment the device is running in. |
| • | Managed Windows Update: the SVMScan.exe agent will request a check for updates through an enterprise managed WSUS instance. On machines not configured through WSUS, this check for updates will result in the error: 0x80244011 "WUServer policy value is missing in the registry". |
| • | Official Windows Update: the SVMScan.exe agent will request a check for updates through the public Windows Update server. This check will only return updates related to Windows. |
| • | Official Microsoft Update: the SVMScan.exe agent will request a check for updates through the public Windows Update server. This check will return a superset of the "Windows Update server" results that include Windows updates and updates for Microsoft products such as Office (non App-V, non App-X installs only) and MSVC redistributables. |
| • | Use offline method (CAB): you should implement the .cab file scanning of windows update for clients that are not connected to the Internet and cannot access WSUS or MU/WU. In such situations, Microsoft provides a .cab file that can be used to scan the system. There are limitations to this feature: |
| • | You are responsible for placing the file in a location accessible by Windows Update Services. The file must be on the local file system; placing the file on a shared drive is not supported by Windows Update Services. |
| • | The alternate scan data source (.cab file) only includes high priority updates (security bulletins, critical updates, update rollups) and some service packs. It does not include optional updates (such as updates, feature packs, and tools) and some service packs. If a machine uses this source for scanning, then it is likely that fewer patches will be detected. |
| • | Software Vulnerability Research should be run as administrator. |
| • | Update Proxy Settings (select Use default WUA proxy settings, Use the same proxy as http or Use a custom proxy for WUA from the drop-down list). |
| • | If you selected Use a custom proxy for WUA, enter the Proxy Settings domain port. |
