I am trying to deploy xp sp3 with sms 2003 sp3. I followed the "Deploying Windows XP Service Pack 2 with Systems Management Server" white paper as described at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947310 the part I get stuck at is how to package the "WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe" file? It is a exe and I belive it needs to be an .msi?

Thx

I just extracted the exe and there is an msi, its located in C:\temp\i386\update, i.e you run "WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe" /x and choose c:\temp to extract.

Do you have ITMU? you coud deploy SP3 that way too.

You could just deploy the exe as is, without extracting it, see AMLM Admin post who is already going/gone through this -
http://www.myitforum.com/forums/Deploying_XP_SP3_-_Issues/m_187116/tm.htm

If you have ITMU v3, you can deploy it that way via Software Updates
If you have group policy in your enviroment, you can also use that to install it, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457070.aspx
