Why am I seeing error “Windows Update Agent is not supported on this operating system” even though the computer is running Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 or later?
MBSA and the Windows Update Agent require Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 or later. The version check performed by MBSA uses the system registry, so if a remote computer being scanned has the Remote Registry Service disabled, this error will appear. To correct this, ensure the Remote Registry Service is running on the target computer.
