How to update patches for Win2003server without connecting to Inte

[Guest Thiru]

Hi,

 

I have a Windows Server 2003 which is not connected to the Internet and need

to update the patches. How can I download and update patches regularly?

 

It's a database server and not attached to any domain and can't update the

patches thru wsus.

 

Thanks and I’d really appreciate your help

You say you cannot update the patches through WSUS - why is this? You can

configure it to download the drivers from your internal WSUS and not install

them...

 

Otherwise, each month - manually check for Windows 2003 updates (they come

out like everything else - the second Tuesday of the month the majority of

the time) and download them. Save them to whatever media you have to to get

them to the server, run them and install them.

 

Otherwise - I would have to assume that this machine is not connected to ANY

network what-so-ever and no one uses it.
