Office 2007 - Patches Not In BigFix?

Usage and Config Patch

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

We are not seeing all the Office 2007 security patches in BigFix. Specifically we are missing:

951944 - Security Update for the 2007 Microsoft Office System (KB951944)

954326 - Security Update for the 2007 Microsoft Office System (KB954326)

946691 - Update for the 2007 Microsoft Office System (KB946691)

SP1 - 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 1 (SP1)

I am guessing we need to enable some analysis or run a configuration task first, but we haven;t been able to find anything like that. Should we be seeing those patches?

Hi jspanitz,

Try clicking in the Fixlet list and using the CTRL-F find feature to help search for these types of things.

Your first two patches are in BigFix Fixlets. Note that Microsoft uses different KB numbers for the same patches. In these cases we note the different KB numbers in the descriptions:

951944 --> MS08-055 – Alternate KB: 955047

954326 --> MS08-052 – Alternate KB: 954593

946691 is a non-security patch.

Office 2007 --> There is a Fixlet “UPDATE: Office 2007 Service Pack 1 Available”

Ben,

We did search but I see we only looked in the “All Relevant Fixlet Messages” area. Oooops! Understood on 946691 being non-security.

When we search “All Fixlet Messages” we see the fixlets. So now the issue is that windows update reported the patches as relevant and BigFix did not. Any way to troubleshoot that?
