Can Someone tell me what MS patches install before I connect a machine to the world ?

[Al Dykes]

I have a tool that pushes MS patches to XP and w2k clients in a domain.

I install systems with w2kSP4 or XP/pro/SP1, and want to know
what minimum patches to also install from CDROM so when I connect
to the world I'm pretty safe for the hour or so it might take
to push the complete patch list.

User's won't be using the machine for anything


Thanks

Try using hfnetchk and do baseline check

You need to fetch an xml-file containing the latest security info to be
able to run it. So first run it on an existing computer to fetch the
mssecure.cab, then use the commandline to point to your downloaded file.

Make sure the ms03-039 patched is installed before exposing the machine to
the internet.
