The Missing Patches by Device report identifies the Windows devices in your environment that are missing Microsoft security patches that could render the device vulnerable. The report enables you to quickly determine a priority for security patch installation based on the most mission critical systems in your server farm.
Patch scanning is automatically run weekly on Sundays at 6:00 PM for the selected devices. However, vulnerabilities are updated each time a device is scanned.

Microsoft generally develops security patches for only the current and next-to-current versions of a product, and the current and next-to-current Service Packs for each. If you are using a product or Service Pack that is no longer supported, a security patch may not be available. You can obtain real-time updates from Microsoft as bulletins are published at http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/update/bulletins/default.mspx. |
