Another Windows' issue


I installed a couple of Windows Server 2003 OS patches on two new servers, production and UAT environments, that was Monday. Then I tried to run the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyser v2.0 or MBSA v2, it failed. The error message was "The catalog file was corrupted" or "could not find the host to scan", something like that.


I couldn't solve the problem yesterday, so waited until today, got my new Windows admin guy to have a look. He managed to find out that it was due to the "Computer Browser" service that was turned off, which is required by the MBSA scan. That's good, that shows he's learning, I like that attitude. He is currently still worknig as a contracted staff, with this working attitude, soon, I may ask boss to convert him to permanent.
