How can I streamline Windows 2000 Advanced Server CD with the latest service
pack? Then burn it again with it being bootable again?

Hi,

Use AutoStreamer or nLite to make the process pretty easy.

Thanks man. These 2 programs look cool. Wish they made one for Office too!

Anyway, I have Windows Advanced Server 2000. Is the Service Pack 4 will work
for Advanced Server... as well as Professional versions?

You might want to take a look at this one also. I ran across it a while
back and I was pleasantly surprised when I gave it a test run. Not only
does it splistream but it can incorporate post SP hotfixes to the
installation CD. The author doesn't mention Advanced Server but does
keep a list of Windows 2003 Server hotfixes, possibly it works for the
Advanced version also. http://xpcreate.com/current.htm

Hi,

Yes, it's the same SP4 install file for both those Windows 2000 versions.
