ESM Patch Checks on Win 2003

This issue has been solved. See solution.
I have enabled checks for security patches on Windows based server. I have a few servers reporting as missing patches. I need to understand what is it that Symantec looks for while determining that a machine is missing an update. Our patching tool did not highlight any missing security updates. Would anyone know if Symantec just does a file version comparison as given on MS site?

Hi Asane, Symantec Verifies
Hi Asane,
Symantec Verifies the installed patch by comparing the file version as mentioned on MS Website. otehr than this we also check for various conditions( Like registry settings) to verify if a particular application is installed on which the patch is applicable. Hope this helps.
