To make it as easy as possible for customers to maintain the security and stability of their Windows 2000 systems, Microsoft has released an Update Rollup for Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4). Windows 2000 SP4 customers are encouraged to install this update.

You can download Windows 2000 Update Rollup 1 for Service Pack 4 from Windows Update site as well as through Windows Server Update Services and Automatic Updates.

In This Update Rollup

The Update Rollup contains:

By including the most important updates for Windows 2000, the Update Rollup makes it easier for customers to improve security of Windows 2000 systems, keep these systems up to date, and build new deployment images. Because the number of updates included in the Update Rollup is significantly lower than the number typically included in a service pack, and because Microsoft has already released most of the contents included in the Update Rollup as individual updates and hotfixes, the Update Rollup should require less predeployment testing and planning. Individual hotfixes made since SP4, but not included in the Update Rollup, remain available as individual downloads.

No Future Service Packs

Microsoft believes the Update Rollup meets customer needs more effectively and with less disruption than a new service pack, and there will be no Service Pack 5 (SP5) for Windows 2000. SP4 becomes the final service pack for Windows 2000.

Note: Customers who have not yet deployed SP4 must do so to deploy the Update Rollup.
