Preparation for end-of-support for Windows 2000

[TC]

Dear all,



From Microsoft website, I know the Support for Windows 2000 ends on July 13,

2010. After the end-of-support, can I still download the old security patches.



Although we have plan for server upgrade, but it is certainly can't be done

soon after the end-of-support.



I have download SP4 and Security Patch rollup1. I find ie6setup required

connect to

Microsoft update site to get the required component. If I can't get update

after the end-of-support. I will be in great trouble in case I need to

reinstall the Windows 2000 Server.



May I know what should be prepared for the end-of-support in case we still

have to keep running windows 2000 after the end-of-support day.



Regards,

TC

Hello TC,



Create a sysprepped image with the latest updates/patches, so you still have

an option.

I'd guess they would still be available for some time as NT4 updates were

but probably no guarantees.

OK, but will the easy update process using "windows update" (or is it

"microsoft update") still work after end of support ? Otherwise, how do

I download and archive the updates (post SP4) for my system (Windows

2000 Pro, here) ? Someone mentions sysprep but that is not appropriate

for home users, right ?



TIA

That would be the SP4 itself, right ? If so, I have it streamlined

already to a CD.

Thank you Dave! Now I want to get the updates in a language other

than Engl. Are you aware of a sure way to navigate to or otherwise

find the download URLs for foreign language updates ? I mean, one

that should work even in cases when MS will have pulled off the

relevant security bulletins.

Preparation for end-of-support for Windows 2000

assuming I did download an update/fix

what do I need to do to install it?

Just click on it (execute the file)?

TIA
