Mark,
Easily done, maybe the rep meant that you
couldn't roll the hotfixes directly into the i386 dir like the service packs,
they have to be added as an "after thought".... we use an
unattended bootable CD for our more remote locations and roll all the
available hotfixes into it, I do the same with RIS (Roll hotfixes into install
that is...), a good site to look at is:

I know it is XP but I have done it utilising the same
method for W2K, only slightly different for RIS:

Rogers suggestion looks pretty good will look into
that...

slipstreaming Win2K
Nope. I mean this:
Its an exe that sets the correct registry settings and restarts the
update service, and the system gets the updates in about 10 minutes, then
following the reboot it sets the settings back (which would be done by the
GPO anyway, if you're using one).
I
use it quite a bit for servers when I'm ready to patch
them.

You mean this?

I've successfully slipstreamed
service packs into a Win2K install media before, but never looked into
adding any hotfixes to it. So I started looking into how to do it, and was
surprised to find dialog from one of Microsoft's online tech chats, in
which the rep said you can't do that. Did I misunderstand, or can I really
not add hotfixes to a slipstream image?
Thanks...oh, and Tony - thanks
also from me for a great list!
