## The Solution
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/previous-versions/windows/desktop/aa387290(v=vs.85)), which includes a sample .vbs script.
- [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.
For a PowerShell alternative, see [Using WUA to Scan for Updates Offline with PowerShell](https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Using-WUA-to-Scan-for-f7e5e0be).
For example:

[![VBS script](images/vbs-example.png)](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/desktop/wua_sdk/using-wua-to-scan-for-updates-offline)
[![PowerShell script](images/powershell-example.png)](https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Using-WUA-to-Scan-for-f7e5e0be)
The preceding scripts leverage the [WSUS offline scan file](https://support.microsoft.com/help/927745/detailed-information-for-developers-who-use-the-windows-update-offline) (wsusscn2.cab) to perform a scan and get the same information on missing updates as MBSA supplied. 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.
