Try out GFI's Network security scanner product.
They have a trial version you can download after filling out a form.
Once it's setup, if you enter domain admin credentials in the proper
places before running a scan on your subnets, you'll get back a list of
all machines, OS levels, and all currently installed hotfixes.
The full product will allow you to push out missing hotfixes. But, the
trial version at least reports what's missing and makes a handy HTML
report file that you can review later.

Check on the left side of the page for the Eval download link.

What I really need is something I can pipe to a text file for analysis
later, so that I can compare it with the text files of other servers.
Does
something like this even exist?

You can use Microsoft's Baseline Security Analyzer. It will probably
give
you inaccurate information also but it is printable.
Microsoft is intending that this analyzer as well as SUS (when it
becomes
WUS later this year) will eventually report similar (maybe even
accurate)
information about the patches installed.
The baseline security analyzer allows you to scan single or multiple
computers with a single click.
Works pretty good. It has told me that certain patches are not correct
because the version is later than the one expected. That sounded ok to
me
so I left those patches installed.

Hey guy and girls,
I've got a question. Is there a tool that will list the installed MS
patches/service packs/hot fixes for a given Windows machine. I know that
if
you use a hot fix executable, you can run it with a -l option, which
lists
all the installed patches, but to a window. I need this output in text.
HFNETCHK doesn't do this, it just tells me what I need to get (and it
was
wrong on 2/2 test machines). I've already tried google, but if you find
it
there tell me the keywords you've used as I've tried many.
Thanks in advance!
Nathan
