Update Rollup 2 for Windows 2000 SP4 is an unofficial rollup style package of updates. It is a cumulative update. It covers everything starting from the official Update Rollup 1 up to EOL (End-of-life) of Windows 2000 in July 2010. It can be installed in an existing Windows 2000 installation or slipstreamed (ex. using programs such as HFSLIP or nLite).

Update Rollup 2 uses exactly the same format as any official Windows update released by Microsoft. Only official public updates are included in it. It means that neither official hotfixes (available by request) or unofficial hotfixes are not part of this rollup.

Update Rollup 2 is based on Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 Updates page. Below you can find a full list of updates included in it.

  • KB952068
    KB980858

 

* Fixes an issue with abnormal CPU temperature when using dual-core or hyper-threading processor, officialy available only as a KB article.

** The updates are installed accordingly to the IE/OE version which is used, i.e. IE5 updates when IE5 is present, IE6 updates when IE6 is used or slipstreamed. Everything is done automatically.

*** This update will not be installed/slipstreamed if you decide to use a newer version of Windows Script (5.6 or 5.7).

**** This update will be ignored if you use a newer version of DirectX (8.1 or 9).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you decide to install or slipstream Update Rollup 2 you should not use any of the updates listed above as UR2 already covers all of them. Two updates (KB976323 & KB979683) were omitted intentionally as they seem to be buggy. In case of Remote Desktop Client update (KB958470), only registry entries are added to fix a security hole related to it. If you happen to actually use MS Remote Desktop, feel free to install KB958470 separately.

Two Windows 2000 Server only updates are not included in this rollup - KB961063, KB969883. If you use Windows 2000 Server you should install/slipstream them together with the Update Rollup 2.

If slipstreaming with HFSLIP you MUST NOT use Update Rollup 1 and Update Rollup 2 at the same time. Only one of them should be present in the HF folder so if you decide to use UR2 then you must remove UR1 from it (UR1 is included in UR2). I recommend using the newest beta of HFSLIP (available at Mim0's site). If you happen to use FDV fileset and slipstream IE6, using the newest beta of HFSLIP is required.

This is how installation process in a running system looks like:

I want to thank everyone who helped me create this package. There are too many people to list here but you know who you are :)

For support or bug report related with Update Rollup 2 please write in this topic or send me a message here.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Automatic Updates are turned OFF by default. Don't turn them ON if you want to avoid issues!

Just to be totally clear - This Update Rollup 2 does NOT include Update Rollup 1??

I got that impression from:

If slipstreaming with HFSLIP you MUST NOT use Update Rollup 1 and Update Rollup 2 at the same time. Only one of them should be present in the HF folder.

So to have the basis of a fully up to date Win2K you need to take Win2K, integrate SP4, then slip Update Rollup 1 in one pass, then Update Rollup 2? If this is true, is there any chance of combining the two in a future release, or would that be of any benefit? If I misunderstood, you might want to clarify a bit in the instructions that Update Rollup 1 has been replaced so is no longer required.

Also, it might be helpful to show how to do a complete Win2K install, with commonly used apps and all. Maybe partner up with Kurt_Aust, or use his guide as a template/model? http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/97047-up-to-date-windows-2000-install-media-creation-guide/ The comparison between the two approaches might be interesting.

Cheers and Regards

UR1 is included :)

I fixed the description. If using HFSLIP it should go like this -> SP4 (if not already slipstreamed), UR2, other updates (WMP, DX9, newer Script, MDAC, etc.).

As for Kurt_Aust's guide, I know it but it's much more comprehensive than my work now. At the moment I'm concentrated on MS-style updates / update rollups while Kurt includes everything in his guide - from updates to applications. I haven't really thought about including non-MS applications in my projects... yet ;) I'll have to think more about it.

Still UR2.0 is going to include only official updates. There will an upgraded version later on - I want to add a MDAC 2.53 update and WMP6.4 security updates. UR2.1 will include more things but it's still in the planning stage now.

Just to make everything clear - BlackWingCat's Japanese Rollup has no connection with my Update Rollup 2. It's much more comprehensive, apart from MS updates includes also many other components, and CANNOT be slipstreamed.

Just one information - BITS 2.0 is not installed by this Rollup. Other Windows Update related updates are also not installed. If you still want to use WU you should install them manually.

Since Win2K is past end of life, the only value for WU/MU is for the other MS products such as Office, correct? Win2K is no longer examined or updates offered, or am I wrong?

Yes and no ;)

WMP9, MDAC2.8, .NET Framework etc. are not included in UR2 so if you install WMP9 after UR2, the updates for it will be shown in WU. But generally speaking you're right. No new (released after July 2010) updates appear in WU, even for those system components that are still getting new updates (ex. .NET Framework). If you install newer .NET updates, you should turn WU off as it will still ask for the older, replaced ones. The same case is with the unofficial W2k updates.

That's why I didn't include any WU related updates in UR2 - WU doesn't have any real use today.

EDIT

This is how WU should look like after installing UR2-v2 (WMP9, DX9, newer >2.53 MDAC not installed)

Only 5 updates are offered to download.

KB908531 - not recommended (Verclsid.exe), see bristols for details

KB944338, KB971961, KB981350 - Script 5.6 updates, it's because I installed IE6 with Script 5.6 before UR2 (UR2 installs only a Script 5.1 update)

KB979683 - kernel update, buggy (check first post)

UR2-v2 is being tested at this moment. I added WMP6.4 security updates, MDAC2.53 SP3 and a GDI+ update.

Well I know that any users that are not as familiar with things to the extent that you are would prefer that after installing UR2 or UR2-v2 if they go to WU/MU that the only updates that show up are the ones that should be truly applied. I know that anyone that is choosing to use Win2K at this point should be willing to educate themselves appropriately, but is there anything you could do to hide updates that you feel should not be applied when UR2 or UR2-v2 is applied, or do you think that would not be a good idea? Or did I misunderstand what you posted? Just a thought.

Cheers and Regards

This a really good idea. I haven't thought about it :o

There are several ways to do it but the easiest one is to add catalog files (*.CAT) from these updates to UR2 which will make WU not ask about them.

Done but it was much more difficult than I thought it would be. Only adding the .CAT files didn't work because WU apparently checks file versions too. I had to do some work and change file versions manually in order to prevent WU from asking for KB979683. Before doing so I checked KB979683 once more - and got a blue screen after reboot. So no KB979683 in UR2. In case of 908531 I had to add the file Verclsid.exe to the Rollup but didn't add the related registry entries. By doing so it's just a dummy file - it's not used by the system but is still present in %systemroot%\system32 folder. WU doesn't ask for 908531 anymore.

EDIT

At the end, I think I'll have to make UR2 disable WU :/ something doesn't seem to work properly.

I currently use Windows 2000 SP4 Rollout 1. Can this just be applied right away? Nothing else needs doing? Note that since I put 2000 on, it has not connected to the Internet so it's not got any updates since Rollout 1.

Reason I'm asking is because I saw the "Let's keep Windows 2000 alive" topic and saw things like Service Pack 5 etc.

Yes, Update Rollup 2 can be installed over UR1 without any problems :yes:

BUT

I strongly recommend waiting just one more day for UR2-v2 as it's almost ready and includes several important fixes to the current version.
