MBSA Questions

Hello..
This is a question for those familiar with DUA and MBSA.
I am trying to patch an old image with new updates. I am running MBSa to see
wht updates are missing. It gives me two different results when I scan thro
netowrk and scan locally.
Why is this? Locally it shows around 9 updates missing and over the network
the number is more like 29..
I am little confused, which is a more reliable result?
thanks
Sid

MBSA gives unreliable results on XPe since it has no concept of
componentization. So while it can be a useful tool in rare cases, more
often than not you shouldn't trust the results.
