I know that QChain has been around a long time.
If you read what I copied into that post, SP3 has made QChain no longer
necessary with Post SP4 hotfixes.
Read my post. I didn't even use the words "Windows Update" anywhere...
Or did I misunderstand you?

The QChain tool has been around for a looong time.. Downloading and
installing the hotfixes is much better than the windows update route if you
are installing a lot of servers/workstations.

I found this intriguing.
This is taken directly from the Hotfix Installation and Deployment Guide
available at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/servicepacks/sp3/hfdeploy.htm
(Link may wrap)
<----start quote------>
Hotfix chaining during update installations is supported in Windows 2000.
Qchain.exe is a utility that enables you to install multiple hotfixes
without having to restart your computer after each one is installed. If
multiple hotfixes replace the same file, Qchain.exe ensures that the correct
version is installed. Windows 2000 SP3 and all post-SP3 hotfixes have
Qchain.exe functionality built in. You can install SP3 and then install any
number of post-SP3 hotfixes without having to restart the computer in
between. To determine whether a given hotfix was released after SP3,
download the hotfix and check the naming convention used. All post-SP3
hotfixes use the following naming convention:
Q######_W2K_SP4_x86_en.exe

Very interesting... they finally realized that we aren't applying these
things one at a time!
Just thought I'd share...
