Windows 2000 Patches & Updates Guide

CESD|200233

Released in 1999, Windows 2000 was the beginnning of the end for the Windows 9x product line, extending upon Windows NT 4.0 it provided an unprecedented level of manageability and reliability which had not been seen before on a Windows platform. Now in 2010, Windows 2000 has finally reached the end of its extended support phase to become an unsupported operating system release.

In line with our security mandate, HPC:Factor has decided to generate and maintain a patching list for Windows 2000 Professional from now until Windows 2000 patch issuing is discontinued completely. It is not deemed necessary to add an installation guide to this document, and there are no plans to add one in the future.

To mark the transition of Windows 2000 into end of life, this guide has been updated as of October 2010 to reflect the strongest level of technologies available for Windows 2000 users (many of which are not available through Windows Update) as well as to update the critical updates list with the final patches from Windows Update.
