Windows 2000 Update

Hi guys,

I am in the process of updating a lot of Windows 2000 workstations, and that will kill our network to start this process during the day, and I am not going to work at night.

I do recall that there is a way to download all the latest updates, and then burn them to a CD, with a .bat file so that they will be all installed at the same time just like you're at Windows Update.

I just don’t remember how to do that exactly.

Can somebody help me out please?

I recommend implementing a SUS server. This will allow you to synchonize your SUS server with the microsoft windows udpate server. You can then approve and schedule install of any or all updates at a specified time through GPO, and any computers that are affected by GPO will install the updates at the specified time. They will also remotely install them from the internal SUS server and not the windows update server. As a matter of fact, if you point clients to an SUS server, they will NOT be able to access the windows update server at all.
