XP RIS image and windows updates

[Jim]

Hi

We are late (nearly 3 years) in deploying windows xp sp2 to our network.
The method we use is RIS. With the CD based image being xp sp2. We then
create an RIPrep image which has all our software and all microsoft updates
installed on it.
However some short time after sp2 was released, a security update from
microsoft, updated the ntoskrnl.exe to a later version.
Due to this, the CD based image is incompatible with the RIPrep image and
the remote desktop is unable to install the new image.
I believe this is because when a new desktop tries to download the image RIS
compares both ntoskrnl.exe files and if the are different stops with a BINL
error message.
Does anyone know how to over come this problem. Currently we install XP sp2,
then have to leave the desktop to run through something like 80 security
updates using microsoft auto update. (very time consuming and network
intensive)

Thanks
