I spent the day reading quite a few blog-articles relating to the detection logic for Microsofts new patching format, and howto properly output that into SCCM 2012.
Detection Method for MSU in Applications for SCCM 2012

All of the above does have a few issues though. The detection logic isn’t fulproof as a “false” one could easily error out. As I have previously written – the exit-code of a VBScript isn’t relevant when using it for Global Conditions and the same seems to apply for Detection methods. As noted on Technet (however, for Global Conditions) the output must be through an Echo (or something similar) – which must be something for both a false and a true scenario.
Sample code;
strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\CIMV2") Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_QuickFixEngineering WHERE HotFixID = 'KB2506143'") If colItems.Count = 0 Then Wscript.StdOut.Write "False" Wscript.Quit(0) Else Wscript.StdOut.Write "True" Wscript.Quit(0) End If
