Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer Tool for IT Professionals

I'd like to introduce one useful tool for novice IT Professionals.

It's Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA).

This tool can scan and analyze...

Currently this tool can support Windows XP to Windows Server 2008 R2 for Itanium-based Systems except Windows 8, Windows Server 2012 and Windows RT when I am writing this post.
