Re: Error number: 0x800A0046 Windows 2000 SP4 Critical Update Issu

Randy,

I also have all the same issues you are reporting on about 8 machines here
in my department. I have previously posted the same issue last week.
Nothing seems to fix the problem. I'm considering trying to figure what
patches these machines may need and downloading them separately and
installing them manually. It's too bad windows update no longer works in
Windows 2000 :(
