A script can help you with an alternative to MBSA’s patch-compliance checking:
- [Using WUA to Scan for Updates Offline](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/desktop/wua_sdk/using-wua-to-scan-for-updates-offline), which includes a sample .vbs script.

MBSA also relied on the wsusscn2.cab to determine which updates were missing from a given system without connecting to any online service or server. The wsusscn2.cab file is still available and there are currently no plans to remove or replace it.
