Windows update says there are ZERO for a fresh install of Win2K server!?!

[Buddha Bart]

I re-installed win2k server three times yesterday (plus a "repair previous install"), but now matter what I do, the moment I get it online and run windows update it says I have ZERO updates. Obviously this is hell-ass wrong. Has anyone seen this before?

I've seen this before, you need to format and reinstall Windows then the updates will be there..

I did! Three times! I even copied the cd and had a friend install it on his PC, and his worked fine.

could be that there's a problem at the windows site as that's happened to me in the past.
tried later & all was well!

I thought that so i tried the machine next to it. Worked fine (and oh man had I fallen behind on updates).

Plus the three installs included formating an 18 gig drive, which took a half hour in and of itself. So things were decently spread out over the afternoon.

Make sure the date is set correctly.

Internet Explorer, Tools, Internet Options, Languages - make sure something is defined there.

I've seen this bug before. Try downloading and using the full network install of service pack 3, and THEN try getting the critical updates. It worked for me!

I tried that too! (at least its good to know that i'm not insane, other people are thinking along the same lines as me)

Like Bozo1 said make sure you date and year is correct.

Same think happened to me & all it was was the incorrect date. lol
