Gore It is funny you should say that. Earlier this week I was trying to update a Win2000 machine and the download was taking so long I kept cancelling the job. There were 14 items for about 13MB.
Last night I tried again. There were 12 items for around 42Mb. It downloaded and installed in around 15 minutes :confused:
I think MS had a problem? because I downloaded other stuff at normal speed.

Well, it seems they suggest everyone should install even if their system is fully updated...
and...as far as ' issues ' are concerned...apparently the update actually shuts down some security features...Quote:
Q3: Should I install Update Rollup 1 even if I have kept my Windows 2000 SP4 systems up to date?
A3: Yes. Update Rollup 1 contains additional important fixes in files that have not previously been part of individual security updates, as described in the Knowledge Base Article. In addition, the Update Rollup 1 contains additional enhancements that increase system security, reliability, reduce support costs, and support the current generation of PC hardware. In some cases, the individual binary files released in previous individual security updates may have been updated via individual hotfixes to address minor compatibility issues introduced in those prior security updates that affected individual customers. The latest versions of those files are included in the Update Rollup.
Therefore, even if a system is fully up to date with prior security releases, Windows Update will still detect and apply the Update Rollup. Customers who use managed security update deployment solutions should evaluate the need to deploy Update Rollup 1 within their infrastructure
both from the same site...Quote:
after you install the Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4) that was released on June 28, 2005 on a Microsoft Windows 2000-based computer, the following Internet Security Systems (ISS) products stop running and the increased protection provided by these products is disabled:
• RealSecure Desktop 3.6 with XPU versions ENO, ENP, and ENQ
• RealSecure Desktop 7.0 with XPU versions ENO, ENP, and ENQ
• BlackICE Agent for Server 3.6 with XPU versions ENO, ENP, and ENQ
• BlackICE PC Protection 3.6 with XPU versions CNO, CNP, and CNQ
• BlackICE Server Protection 3.6 XPU versions CNO, CNP, and CNQ
The affected ISS products generally stop running within one to two minutes after you start the computer.
Note ISS X-Press Updates (XPUs) are signature and driver updates that are required for the most current security protection. The XPUs listed here are significantly older than the current XPU versions. As a precautionary measure, Windows Update will not offer the revised MS05-019 security update to computers that are running these programs until a more recent XPU has been installed. Also, if the following ISS programs are installed, users of the affected computer may not be notified to install the revised version of security update MS05-019. This behavior occurs because the following programs also may contain an affected version of the affected file. However, the following programs are not affected. Therefore, you can manually install the revised version of security update MS05-019 or the Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP4.

Some Internet Security Systems products stop running after you install the revised MS05-019 security update or after you install the Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP4 on a Windows 2000-based computer

Hi guys!
Just did updating with some of our servers here with Win2K just last Tuesday. SP4 and couple of Security updates (POST-SP4) as well. The idea of having a consolidated version of these patches is handy for Sys Ads and the like. Time to burn some.
Thanks for the info, HTRegz.
By the way, just a side-note, Win 2000 had been really out there for quite some time as well as Win XP, but for mid-size corporation doing server apps and other integration, Win 2K and the latter Win 2K3 would be the bet. We used Win XP Pro more on our Workstation Boxes and very reliable especially in Remote Desktop Connections, thereby accessing the Servers from it.
Yo!
