Installing hotfixes for Windows 2000 Pro

Hello everybody,

I have done a fresh installation of Windows 2000 Pro. I have downloaded
and installed SP4 as well.
However, no hotfixes or update rollup have yet been installed on the
machine.

This is a standalone machine and I have to download hotfixes on another
machine and then take them to
the windows machine {I think this can be done?}

I have a couple of questions if somebody minds answering:

1- Do I need to install all post SP4 hotfixes even if I install update
rollup 1 v2?

2- If no where can I get the list of hotfixes post update rollup?

3- Moreover, from the list of post SP4 hotfixes that I found on the
link below:

>http://support.microsoft.com/common/...MaxResults=250

it seems that not all hotfixes are for Windows 2000 Pro. Some are for
advanced servers alone.
Is there a list that gives hotfixes for only Windows 2000 professional
edition.

Many thanks in advance.

A.

I think I seem to get answers to my questions i.e.

1- Yes, I need to install all post SP4 hotfixes even if I install
update rollup1.

2- The link to one stop post should be a help to get all those updates.

3- Yes, not all hotfixes given on the link that I provided are for
Windows 2000 Pro.

Again, thanks much.
