does anyone know where I can get a consolidated disc for windows 2003 of either of the below:

- consolidated disc of: win 2003 & sp2 & all extra updates
- consolidated disc just with sp2 & all extra updates

morning nobus, thanks for that, but would also like 32bit  ?

so just for clarity if I am having problems with downloading updates beyond win 2003 sp2 this link for 64 bit has them all  ?

what about xp/sp3 and all updates after sp3  ?

hi gary, yes that is exactly why I am doing it now.
hi lee, I have downloaded the below but the most upto date is windows update ver 8.9

this tool may help:
http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-download-windows-updates-for-offline-windows-update/ 

I installed it on my win 7 laptop downloaded sp2 updates into the relevant folder - successfully
I also downloaded sp2 & runtime & net.frameworks updates as an (iso) - successfully

note:  I have used 'nlite' before, hence wishing to download all updates so I have them on cd ready for when Microsoft stop allowing the downloads.

question 1.  what I did notice was that I found a folder that showed a (txt file) stating a list of files that were not installed as they were already installed on my machine - so how would I overcome that, unless I just installed 'win 7' 1st then ran this program in order to get all updates downloaded or created into an 'iso'  ?

question 2.  I wish also to be able to download all updates beyond exchange 2003 sp2 but not sure how  ?
you can make an XP sp3 install disk from an existing install : http://www.howtohaven.com/system/createwindowssetupdisk.shtml
it would have been appreciated if I knew how to get those extra updates beyond 'exchange 2003/sp2' so I could also put on a cd before Microsoft stops updates being downloaded.

sound advice!  much appreciated.
