Run MBSA through prompt


Recommended Posts

I've been trying to run MBSA (Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer with AutoIT and have some strange issues with parameters not being sent through.

If I run the following command in Command Prompt, it will run with the following output and create a plain text file.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2\mbsacli.exe" /n OS+SQL+IIS+Password /nvc > C:\output.txt

--Correct screen output--

Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer

Version 2.1.1 (2.1.2112.0)

Scan Complete.

This is how I'm running it with AutoIT, with ShellExecute. But it doesn't make the txt file, only the MBSA (XML) file in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\SecurityScans.

The screen output is exactly the same, but the parameter " > C:\output.txt" isn't being interpreted.

ShellExecuteWait("c:\Program Files\Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2\mbsacli.exe", "/n OS+SQL+IIS+Password /nvc > c:\output.txt")

Anyone experienced with MBSA? Any thoughts? Thanks.
