W2K SP4 Deployment

How do I push W2K SP4 with WSUS. WSUS relies on KB numbers and I can't seem
to find the KB number for W2K SP4. Thanks in advance for any help on this!!!

Hi,

Service Pack 4 for Windows 2000 is categorized under "Update Rollups"
at the WSUS server. Verify that you have selected "Update Rollups"
under update classification.

In the WSUS admin console:

Options --> Synchronization Options --> Press the "Change..."
button under "Update classifications" --> Select "Update Rollups" if
not already selected.

If it was not selected, save the settings, then do a new sync.


Afterward, to locate SP4 for Win2k, you can create a custom view that
includes "Update Rollups", and you can use the following search text:

Service Pack 4


And a FYI:

Please post WSUS related issues to the newsgroup dedicated to WSUS:
microsoft.public.windows.server.update_services

WebNews link to the WSUS newsgroup:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...pdate_services


Or use a newsgroup reader (default Outlook Express) to access this new
group:

Clicking on this link should open this group in OE:

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...pdate_services

Exactly what I was looking for, sorry about posting to the wrong site. I
work in a hospital and we have been down for 3 days now and are just starting
to come back from the virus that hit us here. We had over a third of our
6000 machines get infected. At the time I was looking for this information,
we were pretty much in panic mode. Next time I will pay attention to the
correct posting. Thanks again though your information is greatly appreciated!

Have a great day!
