Windows Update missing Critical Patches?

[Shawn Barrick]

Running Windows 2000, SP4. When I scan using Windows Update, it says
no updates available for my computer. If I look at the update
history, it says that last update was September 2002, why I know is
not accurate. IF I run the MS Baseline Security Analyzer, it says
that MS03-20,23,26 are not present. Has anyone else seen anything
similar?

Hi Whawn

WU will not always detect all updates a PC has or has not. To be sure I'd
always check manually if updates are installed.
In addition, updates not downloaded via WU, but manually and then installed
manually will not be displayed in the WU History.

Hope this helps. Regards,

Fabio

Hi Shawn,

Verify the system Time and Date information is accurate. If it is please
post the Windows Update.log file from c:\ %windir% we should be reporting
an error message we can then lookup in the Windows Update Troubleshooter:
