I have being using riprep successfully to image Windows XP SP2 Notebooks to my RIS Windows 2000 Server, so now I decided to use windows update to install all of the high priority updates and then use riprep to image the notebooks but I receive the following error message Now I searched through some other forums and they have suggested that as ntoskrnl.exe has been patched that you need to copy the ntoskrnl.exe from the client machine and replace ntoskrnl.exe in the Windows XP Image on the Windoes 2000 RIS Server, some have suggested that you can't riprep machines that have had the updates applied any help will appreciated.
