Default Windows updates

I probably should know the answer to this, but I don't

This is the fourth time in as many days that I'm resintalling 2000 Server and XP Pro on my test mahine (Novell 6.5 wants a dos partition in the first 2GB of the disk, and my W2K and XP installs are there, so it's reformat time, plus someone killed one of my partitions which messed things up!)

So, I have a downloaded copy of SP4 for 2000 and SP1 for XP Pro. That's nice, but what about all the other updates?

It takes about an hour to get the 2000 server to full updated status, is there somewhere where I can download all the updates to disk, and then store these for later application?

Personally I just run autoupdate and leave it to it (assuming decent speed internet connection)!

Either set-up your own SUS server or use AutoPatcher
