Task

To create a process whereby each month a BigFix baseline can be automatically created that contains all the Microsoft Security Patches released that month. Part of the tricky part will be just selecting the patches for the month in question.

I'm thinking about writing it so that it includes only the patches released since the 1st of the month that start with MS are in the Enterprise Security site (I think that's the original Microsoft site name).

I'll want to exclude any patches that have SUPERSEDED in their names just in case.

We will also want to exclude any fixlet that does not have a default action.
