As part of an ongoing commitment to provide detection tools and deployment recommendations for security updates, Microsoft is delivering this detection and deployment guidance for all updates that are released during a Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) release cycle. This guidance contains recommendations that are based on the types of scenarios that may exist in various Microsoft operating system environments. This guidance includes the use of tools such as Microsoft Windows Update, Microsoft Update, Microsoft Office Update, the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer, the Office Detection Tool, Microsoft Systems Management Server, the Extended Security Update Inventory Tool, and the Enterprise Scan Tool.
This article describes the detection and deployment guidance for the security release that is dated July 11, 2006.

Yes. SMS helps detect and deploy these security updates. Both SMS 2.0 and SMS 2003 with SUIT use MBSA 1.2.1 technology for detection. Therefore, SMS 2.0 and SMS 2003 with SUIT have similar limitations to MBSA 1.2.1. For more information about SMS, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
SUIT together with the Extended Security Update Inventory Tool are required for detection of all the security updates on Microsoft Windows and on other affected Microsoft products.
