Hi,

Currently, MBSA V1.2 provides support for performing the security updates
portion of a scan against a local SUS server. Administrators can select
this option in the MBSA UI or in the MBSA command line interface. This
portion of the scan will then be performed against the list of approved
security updates on the local SUS server, rather than against the complete
list of available security updates listed in the mssecure.xml file
downloaded by the tool at runtime. Note that all security updates that are
checked as approved in the SUS UI, including those updates that have been
superseded, will be scanned and reported by MBSA.

For step by step article look at

The above link contains How To Perform Patch Management Using SUS, it uses
MBSA to manage the patches on workstations.
