        I also think that what George is looking for, is a source to get =
a
  full
        image of the OS that already has the hotfixes/sp's installed =
ready to
    go,
      so
        when deploying or adding a new machine, you don't have to apply =
all
  the
        hotfixes/sp's above the level you're installing.

        So, if all you have is a Win2kPro SP0 (No SP installed) disk, =
but have
  a
        site license that allows 40 clients, and you're now adding =
client #35,
      he'd
        like to be able to get a full image of the latest distribution =
(not
  have
      to
        re-purchase same), so when he installs the software on the new
  computer,
      he
        doesn't have to take the next several hours adding SP's, hot =
fixes,
  etc.

            BUT, the problem with doing a "re-install", is that the =
current
    builds
        and
            software do NOT allow you to keep installed software, user, =
etc.
    I've
        tried
            that, mostly to no avail.  The ONLY way to get the install =

    is
      to
            allow it to delete the NT folder, and all the users, etc.  =
You
  have
    to
            re-install your software.

            I've found this to be true when trying to do a re-install of
    Win2KPro
        the
            SP3 CD build.  There is NO upgrade Install option, of =
Win2kPro is
        currently
            installed.  The ONLY option is to blow away the current =
install,
  and
      go
            through the hassle of a re-install.  I have NOT tried doing =
the
      SysPrep
            based install yet. which allows taking a fully installed =
system,
  and
            converting it to what is called an OEM image style install.  =
There
    is
      an
            option to force full hardware detect again, so you can roll =
up
        pre-installed
            systems with all the software installed to new machines.  =
This
  MIGHT
        work to
            allow you to change hardware on an existing system and not =
have to
            backup/restore, which doesn't properly bring back stuff (or =
I've
  not
        figured
            out the magic incantation.

            On the original Win2kPro NON SP based version CD, you can do =
a
        re-install
            over the top of the existing OS, and nothing is lost on =
installed
      apps.
        MS
            made a change somewhere along the line of Win2KPro to =
prevent a
        re-install.
            I have a Non-SP Win2kPro CD, and on a system that would NOT =
allow
        without
            deleting the existing installation (didn't format the disk, =
just
      deleted
        all
            the Win2K files and started over), I used the original =
Win2KPro
  CD,
      and
        I
            was able to re-install the OS.  Then had to apply SP3, but =
that's
  no
        real
            big deal.

            Heck, I've got a license for the machine, a license for the
    software,
        but it
            just won't allow an upgrade/repair style install that goes =
over
  the
      top
        of
            the existing install.
