Adding Windows Server 2003 SP2 Support to the VSMT Patch Directory

The default installation of VSMT 1.1 doesn’t come with Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) patch files. These files are required for the post-deploy modification task, but they must also exist to complete the hardware validation test on a source server with SP2 installed.

To update your VSMT 1.1 installation with Windows Server 2003 SP2, download the SP2 executable from www .microsoft.com/downloads. Extract Windows 2003 Server SP2 to C:TempSP2 using the /x command line option.

Create a folder called SP2 in C: Program FilesMicrosoft VSMTPatches Source5.2.3790. Copy all the XML files from the …5.2.3790 directory to the …5.2.3790SP2 directory. Copy the following files from C:TEMPSP2 extracted copy of Windows Server 2003 SP2: ntoskrnl .exe, ntkrnlpa.exe, winsrv.dll, ntdll.dll, kernel32. dll, halacpi.dll, HAL.dll, aic78xx.sys, atapi.sys, intelide.sys, pciide.sys, pciidex .sys, win32k.sys. Update the cache using VMPatch:

 VMPatch /s:c:tempsp2

Now your VSMT installation is ready to migrate Windows Server 2003 servers with SP2 installed.
