I work in a school district and am trying to update about
a dozen machines. When I run an over-the-web update on
some of the machines, the scan very quickly reaches 100%
and then says no updates are available -- even though the
machines are SP3 and have had no patches installed, except
the Blaster patch. Note: there is no policy configured
for blocking Windows Updates.

Any thoughts?

I'm in the field now and a personal e-mail, if possible,
would be very helpful as well as a response to the group.

Thanks,

the following is from MS update page:

Important Note: Do not install security update MS03-026
before installing SP4. The security update must be applied
after SP4 has been installed on computers. Once you have
successfully installed SP4, you should then install MS03-
026, which protects against vulnerabilities caused by the
Blaster worm. For more information about the Blaster worm,
see What You Should Know About the Blaster Worm and Its
Variants.

I too installed MS03-026 before installing SP4 and now
can't install the new Service Pack. I think we both are
awaiting an answer to a similar question posed by Charles
S.

update site will not function (reaches 100% quickly)
corectly. You can also look at the help file its in there
to.
