    The Microsoft Update Site does not work. The Windows Update Site does work. Please help. Not in Windows XP, Server 2003 and Windows 2000.

    Why? Microsoft Update does only not work. Windows Update works perfectly. I will try an another methode.

    Could you expand on that? Maybe some screenshots...
    Did not fully understand, my bad. :)

    @pm67310 did give you a valid option.
    ;)

    The new v6-legacy-muauth.cab is sha2 signed only (old was dual sha1/sha2 signed), probably NT 5.x can't verify it
    check WindowsUpdate.log

    How can I add the SHA2 Certificate?

    The WSUS for 2000 and XP works fine and I become Microsoft Updates too.
