Ran an mbsa scan on users pc's today. I found one user that the scan showed
didn't have SP4 (win2k workstation). I was shocked as I check all users
monthly to verify patches loaded etc....and was positive that all users had
SP4.

I went to the users machine, looked at windows update and SP4 showed in the
download list(was the only patch in the list). I had the user look at winver
and it said SP3. The user then downloaded and installed SP4, rebooted, went
back to WU to double check. There were maybe 15 patches to install, so
install he did. However it showed that they were not able to install.

Question 1, what happened to SP4 in the first place, and question 2, how do
I get the remaining patches to install?

The only change the user said he has made lately was to upgrade Office 97 to
Office 2000.

Thanks!

Since downloaded is not the same as installed, is it possible you looked in
the wrong place and assumed from there?
Or perhaps someone uninstalled SP-4.
Other than that, I can not explain it.

Download and install the other updates manually.
