Hi,

We are using SBS2000 with around 40 Windows 2000 Pro
clients.

Recently, I formatted a WinNT4.0 Laptop that never touched
our network and installed a fresh copy of Windows 2000 Pro.

The machine joined our SBS2000 network OK and our SBS2000
detected that the laptop did not have SP4, so that was
installed successfully. I then installed the Firewall
client and Outlook 2002 from the SBS - which was OK too.

Now, when I tried to do Windows Update it keeps failing.
I tried rebooting and in all I have tried around 10 times
with no joy.

Please can someone help as I am blowing my brains out.

The machine is a Toshiba Portege 7020CT, Win2k Pro SP4,
P3, 64MB RAM, 10/100LAN. The laptop's OS installation is
fine - it's just Windows Update!!!

Please help!!!

What exactly is happening? Is it failing when you try to access the site or
when you scan for updates? What error message(s)/number(s) are you seeing,
if any?
 
From knowledge, I get the downloading grey box with the
status bar, it seems to flick through all the 16 critical
updates around 2 seconds at a time, it shows 19MB to be
installed, the blue bar does not even move then I get the
red list of items failed.

Any clues...or do you need more info? Let me know.
