tramtrist Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Did windows update stop working for win2k again?"Windows Update does not start in Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows 2000"It makes me sad. I pulled the latest root certs but still no love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Since win2k went eol awhile ago I'm not surprised really.It officially stopped being supported four years ago Edited April 3, 2014 by Kelsenellenelvian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tramtrist Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 I used WUAv256.cmd to rebuild it recently. That's when I started having issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

submix8c Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Well, to note that Windows98/SE/ME still allowed Windows Update past EOS (with the "tricks" to push into the Older Updates site) I would say that unless MS completely "pulls the rug" I'd say that you'd still be able to use it to get the "older" updates (at EOS and back) using said WUA (Win98/SE/ME was different, natch). IMHO...edit - Found the reference. It, too, had some of the "glitch" that was occuring for accesses (remember the links to Events not working as well?). http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/94225-windows-update-fix-for-win9xme/(note - still available within AutoPatcher at Mdgx, FWIW, but the MS v4 website is defunct, so pointless.)
