You'll be better off to reconfigure the Win 2000 machines.  Otherwise even
if you manage to prevent the update rejection messages from being written
to your log, those Win 2000 machines will still be pummeling your name
server(s) with their useless update requests.

For PCs with Ethernet connections:
---------------------------------
o Right click "My Network Places".
o Select "Properties".
o Right click "Local Area Connection".
o Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)".
o Click "Properties".
o Click "Advanced".
o Select "DNS" tab.
o Remove checkmark from "Register this connection address in DNS".

For PCs with dialup connections:
-------------------------------
o Right click "My Network Places".
o Select "Properties".
o Right click "Dial-up Connection".
o Select "Properties".
o Select "Networking" tab.
o Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)".
o Click "Properties".
o Select "General" tab (it is probably the only tab).
o Click "Advanced".
o Select "DNS" tab.
o Remove checkmark from "Register this connection address in DNS".
