There are 2 methods. One would be via Wsus. The other would be to run ProxhttpsProxy on another machine and then access WU.

I have Windows XP vms, so I can try to run it via WinXP?

Yes, or you run it in your host system.

[WULover]

And how to use this virtual machine for proxy?

You need to run ProxhttpsProxy V1.3a in your Xp Vm. Install the generated certificate into the local computer's certificate store. To find out the ip address of the vm, type ipconfig in the command prompt and write down the ip address. In W2k open Internet Options and go to Connections and at the bottom Settings. Tick Use proxy server for Lan. Click Advanced. Enter the IP address of the Xp-Vm under Secure. And at port type 8079. Install the same certificate that was installed in Xp.

In Windows 2000 this page must be opened: http://fe2.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en&g_sconsumersite

Now, I get this error: 0x80072EFD

I don't have Extended Kernel

Have you installed Xp's ProxhttpsProxy certificate in W2k as well?
