Update Rollup for Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4

Microsoft has released an Update Rollup for Windows 2000

Service Pack 4 (SP4), to make it as easy as possible for customers to

maintain the security and stability of their Windows 2000 systems.

Windows 2000 SP4 customers are encouraged to install this update.

NOTE: Critical security patches and functional fixes are installed on

Dell PowerEdge systems that are preinstalled with Windows 2000 Server.

The Windows 2000 SP4 Update Rollup, however, is not preinstalled. You

have to install the Update Rollup manually.

NOTE: All Dell OpenManage versions that support Windows 2000 SP4 will

support this Update Rollup.

The Update Rollup contains:

• All security updates produced for Windows 2000 between the time SP4

was released and April 30, 2005, when the contents of the Update

Rollup were finalized for testing by Microsoft.

• A number of updates that help increase system security and reliability,

reduce support costs, and support the current generation of PC hardware.

Programs list.
