i know windows 2000 unsupported know issue here?

trying old windows server 2000 box report wsus 3 sp2 server. 

good luck that. it's not going happen. here's why:

  • current wsus servers, kb2720211 or kb2734608 installed, offering wuagent v7.6.
  • windows 2000 systems, however, not eligible install wuagent v7.6 because win2000 expired extended support before wuagent released.

ergo, wuagent can run on win2000 v7.4 wuagent. you'll need monitor windows 2000 system (there should absolutely no need patch such system since there haven't been wsus-avaiable patches released since july, 2010 -- 3 years ago), to:

  1. install replica server not patch replica server ... leave @ v3.2.7600.226.
  2. configure replica server no content store (there's no new updates, no reason transfer useless binary files replica server).
  3. assign windows 2000 system(s) replica server.
  4. download , install standalone windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe upgrade native v5.4 au client wuagent v7.4.
  5. ensure service pack 4 installed on windows 2000 system (this can done via wsus once wuagent upgraded).

the windows 2000 able communicate v3.2.7600.226 replica server and state information roll-up upstream server. if reason win2000 system need updates, downloaded directly microsoft win2000 client.

when scenario came last spring, did in test lab demonstrate viability. it's only way compliance reporting on still-existing windows 2000 system.
