Nessus (nessus.org) has a plugin for checking service pack level.  Don't see one for 
querying installed hotfixes, but you might be able to rework this one to return those 
hotfix regkeys/values.  That appears to be all that Winfingerprint does.

IMHO, this is not a very reliable method.  Something like Hfnetchk (shavlik.com) which 
also verifies file versions and checksums would give you a better idea of whether 
installed hotfixes are still intact.

Subject: Windows Network Audit Tool Question


Greetings,

As an admin of a Windows Domain I am looking for a tool that will provide
the same type of information (especially the service pack/patch level)
that I can get from Winfingerprint http://winfingerprint.sourceforge.net/
but that will run from a shell on Linux.  I suspect that it is possible
to do this with the Samba client software but can't find any information
on it.  Can anyone provide me a starting point or a link to an (open
source) tool that provides this functionallity?  Thanks.
