Couldn't you use MBSA do this?
Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) version 1.2.1
To run the tool from the command line (from the MBSA installation folder),
type mbsacli.exe, and use the following parameters.
mbsacli [/c|/i|/r|/d domainname|ipaddress|ipaddressrange] [/n option]
[/sus SUS server|SUS filename] [/s level] [/nosum] [/nvc] [/o
filename] [/e] [/l] [/ls] [/lr report name] [/ld report name] [/v]
[/?] [/qp] [/qe] [/qr] [/q] [/f] [/unicode]

Dump your list of servers into a text file, then use FOR to run MBSA against
each line in the file:
FOR /F ["options"] %variable IN (file-set) DO MBSACLI [command-parameters]
file-set is one or more file names. Each file is opened, read
and processed before going on to the next file in filenameset.
Processing consists of reading in the file, breaking it up into
individual lines of text and then parsing each line into zero or
more tokens. The body of the for loop is then called with the
variable value(s) set to the found token string(s). By default, /F
passes the first blank separated token from each line of each file.
