Windows Server Forum / Windows 2000 / Update / July 2005How can I install updates w/o a internet connection?
I have two dentist clients that are getting HIPAA compliant so I am putting a server in for password/file control but I also need to be able to install MS updates on 7 machines and 1 server. The problem is that neither office has a broadband connection right now. They are checking into availability but I need to install all updates now and all they have is two modem lines. The server is Win2000 and the desktops are mostly Win2000 with a couple XP Pro's. What would be my best alternative? I do have a external drive and a laptop with XP Pro on it. Thanx, Dave. Go to another computer that is online and go to MS and review all the updates available for the particular operating systems and download them and burn to disk, then install on each computer.

Make a mobile "wsus server"! Install WSUS on you laptop for exemple, sync with msft. You will have all fixes available for all of your clients... Configure a GPO at your dentists on the W2K server that point to an alias such as mobile-wuw.dentists.foo and updates all of the clients with automatic updates You're welcome Tom Pepper Willett a écrit : > Go to another computer that is online and go to MS and review all the > updates available for the particular operating systems and download them and [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > | > | Thanx, Dave. He mentioned that he had a laptop with XP Pro on it, so installing WSUS isn't an option - although that was what I wanted to suggest as well. There used to be a way that you could 'trick' XP into installing SUS, but this isn't the case (as of yet) that I've seen for WSUS. Perhaps you could take that server somewhere where there IS an Internet connection, install WSUS, synchronize the content, etc., then bring the server back to the office to distribute the updates. If you do have a copy of Server, then I would install it on the laptop (maybe you have a spare hard drive around for this?) and do as nmazurier stated. Heck - if you have been to a MS training session where you received 180 day version of server, you could probably use that...
