Re: big deployment



This would be a great question to post in the Microsoft setup_deployment
newsgroup. Software Update Services [SUS] and even Software Installation
via Group Policy can be used to apply service packs but I don't believe it
would be the best way to upgrade to XP Pro. Remote Installation Services
[RIS] or image based installation may also be other options if these are to
be fresh installs. --- Steve
