Hi again, Microsoft is still offering security updates for Windows 2000, per the lifetime published by Microsoft. The problem is that you are using an Operating System without the proper support agreements - IBM is doing this exactly the same (You can only get CUMPTF-Packages when you have a HW-Maintenance Contract, single PTFs or PTF groups require a SW-Maintenance Contract). It's just my opinion that you shouldn't put blame on thing where your company didn't plan things right. -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Darrell A Martin Sent: Monday, March 19, 2007 11:28 AM To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: RE: DST woes - you won't believe this one Hi: Yes, I know all that. The problem is that Microsoft *is* still pushing out updates to Win2K, even though it has passed its first "end of life". Some of these updates did more damage to our Windows network, in conjunction with the Daylight Time change, than pure neglect would have done. We do have the solution in hand. Implementing it is a pain in the posterior -- because it's after the fact, and because it has to be prioritized on the "squeaky wheel" principle. Darrell Darrell A.
