Are you trying to update patches using
       windowsupdate.microsoft.com
directly on the Win 2000 Servers?

Or are you putting them under SUS for patch management? If this is the case,
and they are still on Win 2000 SP2, you need to download and install
"Automatic Updates" client, available at:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/recommended/susclient/default.asp

Otherwise, you can always manually download the patches and install them
using the qchain tool.

Do let us know if this helps. Thanks!
