Patch Assessment gets it wrong?

How does Sophos Patch Assessment (SPA) decide which patches are actually needed by a device?

We usually rely on WSUS to push out Microsoft updates. When SPA told us there were a bunch of Microsoft updates still rerquired by our PC's we took it at its word and have been rolling them out manually. Still no idea why WSUS should have missed them though :^\

On the other hand there's a Microsoft update that SPA claims a bunch of our PC's need - but Windows Update says this particular update isn't needed by those PC's - why should that be? o_O

  • Hi there,

    That would be correct. Although Sophos Patch does list which patch has been superceded by which.

    Sophos Patch can only tell you what patches are missing. This is useful for audit puposes. However, if you have a working WSUS there isn't any real need for Sophos Patch.

    Regards.
