windows update v4 / v5

Does anyone know why some of my machines got the v5 version of windowsupdate
and other machines still using v4?. I have the same problem on
many machines. I installed 2 identical machines in the same order, and with
the same updates. 1 machine got windowsupdate v4 and the other machine
windowsupdate v5. STRANGE!!! All updates succeedes on booth machines. I have
the same problem on 30 machines. Some got v5 and some still running v4.

Does anyone got a clue???

Kind regards Dan

Hello Dan,
This likely is a corporate network? or a very large home network <G>
And speak up if this is a SUS setup in a corporate network.

Don't expect to see WIN2000 on V5.

Some of this depends on how recently a particular XP machine has run Automatic Updates or visited Windows Updates.
XP pcs that visited W U, are more likely to have been offered V5.

v5 is only for xp. so try typing in v5 instead of v4 and
it should work.

V5 is the new update system and it is being installed gradually on machines.
