Hello.

My company wants to upgrade all their computers from
Windows 2000 to WinXP. I'm supposed to configure WinXP's
automatic update so that all updates are sent to one
server and distributed to all the other computers, so that
not every computer needs to download updates.

How do I do this?

Thanks
 
You need to look into Software Update Services (SUS)

http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/windowsupdate/sus/
or a flash demo
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/docs/SUSDemo.swf
If you choose to use SUS, consider these caveats:

You can't use a domain controller (DC) as a SUS server, but you can use a DC
as a client.
You can't use SUS to deploy service packs.
You can't use SUS to deploy your own updates (you can use this tool to
deploy only Windows critical updates, Windows critical security updates, and
Windows security roll-ups).

SUS works on Windows 2000 Pro and Server, XP and .Net Server

Just so you don't think I'm an idiot from my last reply,
SUS actually stands for "Software Update Services".
