Windows Update Settings

This setting controls the behavior of the Windows Update Agent (WUA) used by the Secunia

CSI and CSI Agents to retrieve update information on Windows and other Microsoft products.

You can select:

Use a managed Windows Update server

Use the official Windows Update server, providing updates to Windows only

Use the official Microsoft Update server, providing updates to all Microsoft products

including Windows, Word, Excel, and so on

Use offline method: path to .CAB file

You should implement the .cab file scanning of windows update for clients that are not

connected to Internet and cannot access WSUS or MU/WU. In such situations Microsoft

provides a .cab file that can be used to scan the system. There are imitations to this feature:

1) You are responsible for getting the latest .cab file and placing it in a common share place

accessible to all client computers.

2) The alternate scan data source (.cab file) only includes high priority updates (security

bulletins, critical updates, update rollups) and some service packs. It does not include optional

updates (updates, feature packs, tools) and some service packs. If a machine uses this source

for scanning, then it is likely that fewer patches will be detected.

3) The CSI should be run as administrator.

Debug Logging

Select the Enable Logging check box to enable the Secunia CSI logging feature, which is

useful when troubleshooting any issue that you may experience. In the event of a support

request you can send the log file together any other relevant information to

CSC@secunia.com. The log details can be seen in the log file and also within the Secunia CSI

Configuration > Log Messages > Log Details page.

Log Messages

Use this page to view sequential data regarding the actions being performed by the Secunia

CSI. It can also be used to detect and fix any issues that you might experience with the

Secunia CSI console. The Log Details page becomes populated when you select the

Configuration > Settings > Debug Logging > Enable Logging check box.

Right-click or double-click a message to copy the row data to the clipboard. Click Clear to

remove all log entries. In the event of a support request you may be requested to provide

relevant information from this page to CSC@secunia.com.

Be aware that changing the Windows Update Settings may affect your scan

results. For example, setting the WUA to use a WSUS to gather information about

which OS updates are missing may result in missing important updates information if

the WSUS is not fully synchronized with the official Windows Update server.

The Enable Logging feature requires additional resources to run and may

decrease the performance of your CSI console if it is left to run continuously. Secunia

recommends that this feature is enabled only when you have the need for extracting

the relevant information.
