Re: Where to find all downloadable security patches for W2K+SP4?

Your best bet is to go to the Windows Updates site to check for and
download/install updates. If you go just to that website then you should be
fine. Another options is to configure your computer for Automatic Updates.
Something else you can try is to run Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer.
It will show you what updates are missing and links to the needed update.

I never install anything live from the web, such as "live updates". "live
updates", etc.
When I install from the web, I first download and then install
while the cable is disconnected.

Is there a link where I can find all MS' patches for W2K to be downloaded
in an ordered manner, including dependencies (pre-requisites) / order of
installation, etc?
For example, in the cumulative patches from December 2006, there is
one patch (KB926121) which would not install, claiming I miss a
prerequisite, w/o telling what is that prerequisite!

Also, preferred is to find those patches in large chunks such as SP4 or
Rollup_1_v2 to save work, mess and mistakes.

Thanks,
David
