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.

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.
