Check if specific updates are installed

Hello,

Does some know some specific tool that can I check if 2 critical updates are
installed on my workstations? How can I get this information from my OS?

For example: I have to check if the patch MS05-0XX are installed in all my
workstations (about 200 computers), I have the hostname of these computers.
The idea is create some .bat file that can get each hostname and it do the
checkup, it will generate a file that I can be able to import in MS Excel to
generate the report.
The OS installed on my computers are WIN2K and WINXP.

Obs.: I don't have the SMS; MBSA check all patchs, I just want to check if 1
or 2 are installed.

Thanks in advanced,

Time to update your blurb. Belarc Advisor 7.0o has been out for 4 or
5 days now, and there were several versions between 6.1f and 7.0o. :o)
May I suggest dropping the version information? If a person doesn't
have it they'll download the latest version, and if they do have it it
might serve as a reminder to check (it does for me).
