maybe make sure you can ping the other vm? if you get request timed out then disable the firewall on xp then try pinging it again, if it works then you should prob be able to use xp as the wsus server.
well, it should be much easier. try seeing if you can ping the ips. start by first disabling the firewall on xp then try pinging it. it even happened to me on windows 10 and i had to set a custom rule for it in advanced settings for windows firewall. i know disabling the firewall is a bad idea but its not like anything bad is gonna happen. i dont think you can immediately get exploited unless you have file and sharing enabled in your network and in network setup because thats where nasty stuff come from cause of smb v1 exploits however i think your router should take care of it because it prob had ports tcp 445, 139, 138 and all others filtered maybe ever since the wannacry incident happened.
also, did you make sure to unblock the php server from xp firewall by clicking unblock once it came up when you run it?
After disabling Xp's firewall, WUMT at 2000 says: Error 0x800B0109 A certification chain has been successfully processed, but ends in a root certificate that is not trusted by the trusted provider. I'd install the lastest Root Certificates update from Microsoft Catalog just before starting the whole process. Thanks
glad it worked. it happened to me on a vm and i found a workaround for it. its not only for 2k btw. i think you can try this out for xp rtm up to sp2 but make sure you install the latest windows update agent since wumt.exe doesnt like it when you dont have a new or a workable windows update agent installed. and by doing that on those versions, make sure you have 7-zip and basically extract the windows update agent exe file, you should be given three files, run the one that says wua-downlevel.exe or something, it should start working, or if you are on home edition, DO NOT RUN IT, extract it too then run wusetup.exe because xp home edition seems to act weird maybe because of how it deals with permissions compared to xp pro.
also, maybe try to find a way to set a rule for windows firewall to allow connections from windows 2000 instead of keeping it disabled just to be safe.
theres a root certificate update for windows 2000 but its from 2010 i think. what version of windows 2000 do you have and are you sure you have update rollup 1 and sp4?
try this and see if you can run it. download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/rootsupd_a153023b66d29034420aa227ccc2164cff75229e.exe
it should run silently in the background, you wont notice but you can go to certmgr.msc and go to trusted root certification authorites then certificates then you should have a lot of stuff there.
I'm using Windows 2000 Build 2195 SP4 with the update rollup installed If I run certmgr.msc it says Certificate stores cannot be enumerated. The system cannot find the file specified If I run WUMT now it says: Error 0x80072EFE Thanks
did you have ie6 sp1 installed as well? i didnt have this 0x80072efe error when i tried it on 2000 sp4.
maybe also make sure the windows update agent for the xp server is also up to date? you might also need the idn mitigation update and you might need to update the root certificates also on the xp server. you can find it in the readme, you'll need a browser or you just download it from another pc and transfer it to the xp that has wsus running.
All the files in XP are up to date. I did download and install all updates in XP before trying to update 2000
oh, hmm. maybe restart your win 2k machine and try again. maybe also fix the time and date if its incorrectly set as well.
i assume you have it working rn and thats prob why you arent responding yet cause you are prob busy downloading and installing updates.
