These files are associated with the Automatic Updates feature of Windows 2000. These files are NOT installed by default on a Datacenter server and you certainly wouldn't want an automatic update to bypass the Change Control feature.

NOTES:

Qmgr.dll     is the Background Intelligent Transfer Service and queue manager.

Qmgrprxy.dll is the BITS proxy.

Wuaucpl.cpl  is the Automatic Updates Control Panel applet.
