SYMPTOMS
SMS uses the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) scanning
tool. MBSA can detect computers that require the security
update that is documented in Microsoft security bulletin MS05-020. However, MBSA
cannot provide SMS with information about 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 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.

RESOLUTION
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-KB890923-SMS-Deploy-KB896162-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 MS05-020 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 MS05-020.
Important If you authorize security update MS05-020 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.

Prerequisites
The SMS deployment package requires the SMS 2.0 SUS Feature Pack
or the SMS 2003 Software Update feature.
Deployment information
To use the SMS deployment package, type the following
command in
the Distribute Software Updates Wizard:
IE6.0sp1-KB890923-SMS-Deploy-KB896162-x86-ENU.exe/q:a /r:n
The SMS deployment package uses command-line options that install the security
update silently without restarting client computers. These command-line
options are part of the script logic in the SMS deployment package. These
command-line options cannot be changed.
