When that's done, there will be the last eight remaining high-priority updates as follows:. After the installation of all of the base updates have been completed, you will need to remove the uninstallation updates which were made. By getting rid of the uninstallation files, folders will be removed and up to MB will be freed.

The initial size of the Windows directory after the updates have been applied will top out at 1. On hard disk drive that has 10 GB or less, that is quite a lot. You will also need to consider installing other components, including runtime libraries for Visual Basic 1 through 6, Visual Studio 6, 7, 7.

After running into numerous problems, all of the updates that were available for Windows were performed in Microsoft Virtual PC with MB of physical memory allocated. Believe me, installing and updating Windows either on a real PC or in a virtual machine can take hours and it is a lot of hard work to get everything working right.

I hope that the instructions are useful enough for anyone who wants to re-install and update Windows Please consider downloading and saving the updates and burn them on to a CD or ISO image incase Microsoft ever decides to de-commission the Windows Update website in the near future. I'm so terribly sorry that this is such a long forum thread, I would like to thank tomasz86 and submix8c for helping me on how to get Windows to access Windows Update again.

I don't know how much longer that the Windows Update website will remain up, but without your help, updating Windows would have been an impossible thing to do. If you have any questions regarding this guide on how to install and update Windows , please let me know and I will get back to you!

See your other topic - tomasz86' USP5. Also please note tomasz86 provides a list that maybe needs matched to yours?

Thank you so much for sharing this! While the files that you provided to install IE6 in Win2k are newer, I pointed out the site where you can still get the full version of Internet Explorer, where it doesn't contain the updated files inside the IECIF. CAB files. The updates were later applied after onwards.

As for the purpose of WinZip and 7-Zip, WinZip is a shareware programme designed to open Zip files while 7-zip is a open-sourced programmed designed not only to open files, but extract them to a appropriate directory.

For this reason, I should have used only 7-zip and not WinZip in the first place. But that's why I mentioned them in this thread. I'm collecting links to maybe put up something similar to -X- for XP updates. Bear in mind that HFBR aren't included as you can see. With the archive almost complete, you're doing a lot of hard work on preserving the updates if Microsoft decides to remove the obsolete downloads for Win2k in the future.

Most of the updates that are from Microsoft already have the original datestamp. However, users who want to know when the file of the update was published on the Microsoft Downloads Center can look at the Digital Signature by right clicking the mouse towards Properties and selecting Digital Signatures tab to determine the name of the signer and the original datestamp date and time of the publishing of the update file.

It would also be a good idea to start collecting links to updates for Windows XP and Windows Server as well. This is a really detailed guide, ppgrainbow! The difference is that his is about preparing an updated Win2k source while yours focuses on updating an already installed system.

Thank you so much for compliment. I appreciate it. It is technically possible to install Windows on the Toshiba Tecra CDT, assuming that the size of the hard disk is large enough. However, the consequences are that the Windows will require at least MB of free disk space, 32 MB of system memory and laptop will end up getting slow, pretty fast after installing updates and software on the laptop. You will also need to get the largest hard drive possible that will work properly with the Tecra CDT.

I forget to mention in this thread that the official KB numbers are KB for. There is no KB number for. I agree. As for installing unofficial updates after applying all of the available updates for Windows , you should be careful how the updates are applied.

The one thing is that after a couple of months after I applied UURollup v10c, I was very lucky to only apply. There are chances that some of the critical files that were applied from UURollup will end up being overwritten with official files from the updates that came from the Windows Update website and the risk are that serious problems with Windows may occur thus prompting a re-installation of the OS from scratch.

All of the updates that I downloaded have preserved the original timestamp. An extension that preserved the modification timestamp that is sent by the server for downloaded files. I suppose you mean "this topic", don't you? How about adding "Professional" at the end of the title you can edit it when using the full editor? I used the same extension when downloading updates which are available in the Archive.

That's why timestamps of most of them are preserved. That's correct. I updated the forum thread as well as the link mentioning the correct KB article for. That is so absolutely right! I'm gonna try to provide more information on how the directories will look like. I also believe that there needs to be a script to manually apply the updates via a batch file.

I cannot test it on the host machine as it will screw up the two year old Win2k installation, but I can try to run it on a test Win2k install. The size of the temporary directory is MB and it has updated files in 52 folders. First of all, thanks for this guide. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place here.

I just can't get Windows Update to work after following this guide. All of the steps seem to work correctly, but when I open Windows Update, it gets to the point where it asks if I want to do an Express or Custom update, and when I click either one, it gives me an an error saying "Files required to use Windows Update are no longer registered or installed on your computer", and a link to reinstall said files which also doesn't work.

The main tools that come with Windows can be found in the Computer Management console in Administrative Tools in the Control Panel. It contains Disk Management and Removable Storage snap-ins, a disk defragmenter as well as a performance diagnostic console, which displays graphs of system performance and configures data logs and alerts. It also contains a service configuration console, which allows users to view all installed services and to stop and start them, as well as configure what those services should do when the computer starts.

REGEDIT has a left-side tree view of the Windows registry , lists all loaded hives and represents the three components of a value its name, type, and data as separate columns of a table. REGEDT32 has a left-side tree view, but each hive has its own window, so the tree displays only keys and it represents values as a list of strings. It is a command line utility that scans system files and verifies whether they were signed by Microsoft and works in conjunction with the Windows File Protection mechanism.

It can also repopulate and repair all the files in the Dllcache folder. The Recovery Console is run from outside the installed copy of Windows to perform maintenance tasks that can neither be run from within it nor feasibly be run from another computer or copy of Windows It is usually used to recover the system from problems that cause booting to fail, which would render other tools useless, like Safe Mode or Last Known Good Configuration, or chkdsk.

Windows introduced Windows Script Host 2. Screenshot of Windows Server When users try to access a network share off the DFS root, the user is really looking at a DFS link and the DFS server transparently redirects them to the correct file server and share. Domain-based DFS roots exist within Active Directory and can have their information distributed to other domain controllers within the domain — this provides fault tolerance to DFS.

DFS roots that exist on a domain must be hosted on a domain controller or on a domain member server. A new way of organizing Windows network domains , or groups of resources, called Active Directory, is introduced with Windows to replace Windows NT's earlier domain model. Active Directory's hierarchical nature allowed administrators a built-in way to manage user and computer policies and user accounts, and to automatically deploy programs and updates with a greater degree of scalability and centralization than provided in previous Windows versions.

It is one of the main reasons many corporations migrated to Windows User information stored in Active Directory also provided a convenient phone book-like function to end users. Active Directory domains can vary from small installations with a few hundred objects, to large installations with millions.

Active Directory can organise and link groups of domains into a contiguous domain name space to form trees. Groups of trees outside of the same namespace can be linked together to form forests. Active Directory services could always be installed on a Windows Server , Advanced Server , or Datacenter Server computer, and cannot be installed on a Windows Professional computer.

However, Windows Professional is the first client operating system able to exploit Active Directory's new features. As part of an organization's migration, Windows NT clients continued to function until all clients were upgraded to Windows Professional, at which point the Active Directory domain could be switched to native mode and maximum functionality achieved.

There should be one or more domain controllers to hold the Active Directory database and provide Active Directory directory services. Along with support for simple, spanned and striped volumes, the server family of Windows also supports fault-tolerant volume types.

The types supported are mirrored volumes and RAID-5 volumes :. Windows can be deployed to a site via various methods. It can be installed onto servers via traditional media such as CD or via distribution folders that reside on a shared folder.

Installations can be attended or unattended. During a manual installation, the administrator must specify configuration options. Unattended installations are scripted via an answer file , or a predefined script in the form of an INI file that has all the options filled in. An answer file can be created manually or using the graphical Setup manager.

The Winnt. The ability to slipstream a service pack into the original operating system setup files is also introduced in Windows The Sysprep method is started on a standardized reference computer — though the hardware need not be similar — and it copies the required installation files from the reference computer to the target computers.

The hard drive does not need to be in the target computer and may be swapped out to it at any time, with the hardware configured later. Sysprep allows the duplication of a disk image on an existing Windows Server installation to multiple servers. This means that all applications and system configuration settings will be copied across to the new installations, and thus, the reference and target computers must have the same HALs , ACPI support, and mass storage devices — though Windows automatically detects " plug and play " devices.

The primary reason for using Sysprep is to quickly deploy Windows to a site that has multiple computers with standard hardware. Systems Management Server can be used to upgrade multiple computers to Windows These must be running Windows NT 3. Using SMS allows installations over a wide area and provides centralised control over upgrades to systems. Remote Installation Services RIS are a means to automatically install Windows Professional and not Windows Server to a local computer over a network from a central server.

Images do not have to support specific hardware configurations and the security settings can be configured after the computer reboots as the service generates a new unique security ID SID for the machine.

This is required so that local accounts are given the right identifier and do not clash with other Windows Professional computers on a network. RIS requires that client computers are able to boot over the network via either a network interface card that has a Pre-Boot Execution Environment PXE boot ROM installed or that the client computer has a network card installed that is supported by the remote boot disk generator.

The remote computer must also meet the Net PC specification. Microsoft released various editions of Windows for different markets and business needs: Professional, Server, Advanced Server and Datacenter Server. Each was packaged separately. Windows Professional was designed as the desktop operating system for businesses and power users. It is the client version of Windows It offers greater security and stability than many of the previous Windows desktop operating systems.

Windows Server shares the same user interface with Windows Professional, but contains additional components for the computer to perform server roles and run infrastructure and application software.
