Adding hotfixes to XP SP2

[Guest]

Is there a clean way to slipstream into an SP2 post SP2 hotfixes?

I am planning on doing a corporate deployment of SP2 soon and want to
include all the most recent updates in one install.

You can do it, just not as simply as with service packs. There's an article
about doing it with Windows 2000 here, but they should work the same for XP:

Do a Google search on slipstreaming, I believe I saw one or two articles on
doing what you want.

All good references. I guess I have not made myself fully clear. I want to
slipstream hotfixes into SP2 and not into an OS XP SP2 installation.

If anyone has a link that could help me do that I would appreciate it.

Good reference. Thank you. I want to add the hotfixes into the SP2
distribution. I do not need to add them to the OS XP SP2 media.

I don't want to stick my nose in where it isn't wanted, but (doing it anyway
) have you determined that the hotfixes are correct for the target
computers? Are they all the same model as the model the hotfixes were made
for?

Hello,
No there is not a way to integrate the hotfixes into an SP2 flat, you may
be able to chain them to the installation however.
See if this helps

That is a very definitive answer. Thank you.

I use a universal image build so all the machines are functionally the same.
The OS updates are XP specific so, yes, they are all the same and are
universally required to keep the systems patched for security updates.
