Fixlets for Windows 2000 patches covered under Microsoft CSA

Usage and Config Patch

In the past, BigFix has released Fixlets for patches covered under Microsoft Custom Support Agreements (CSA) for operating systems that have gone out of extended support. Fixlets for NT 4.0 are an example of this. The Fixlets were released for the NT 4.0 patches, but did not include the patch itself since BigFix was not allowed to redistribute the patch. However, instructions were available on how to upload the patch into BigFix if you received the patch via a CSA.

Will BigFix be providing these Fixlets again for Windows 2000? If so, is there a general turnaround time for when these Fixlets would be available?

Hey curt,

We don’t have an official BigFix product for Win2000 patches considering its unsupported status from Microsoft.

But similar to last time we did the WinNT patches after official Microsoft support ended, we are dealing with providing these Fixlets with our services team. Please contact professional_services@bigfix.com for more info about our offering.
