How to Identify Which RS 6.2 SP2 Hotfixes Have Been Installed
The VBS file (RSCustInvScans.vbs) was created and can be run on all Win32 computers in order to determine if any RS 6.2 SP2 hotfixes have been installed or not.

If one of these checks returns TRUE, then that scan is run.

Recovery Solution Hotfix KB Articles
Sometimes you run across something in the Altiris KB that just makes sense, other times you run across things that end up looking like road kill.

RS Diagnostics... Can I get some information on RSDiag 1.2 or how about an Amen!
The previous post about the RS Tools provided a great run down on what's included in the tool set.
