Server 2000 RIS Error

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup_deployment (More info?)

I have followed the directions on the two following webpages:

Error message when you upload a RIPrep copy of a Windows XP image or of a
Windows 2000 image to a RIS server
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=835264

Windows 2000 Patch: Win2k RIPrep needs to support Win2k SRV, ADS and XP
client images
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads [...] 4314178888

I now have the following error:
"Missing CD Image on Server - The RIS server to which you are attempting to
post this installation does not contain the correct CD-based image. The
version of the CD-based image on the server must match the version of the
system you are attempting to image [Version 5.0 Build 2195, Language
English]. Please either select a different RIS server to post this
installation to or add the corresponding CD-based image to the current RIS
server."

Does this mean that you can not install an RIS image, update it with service
patches and place it back on the server?

Thanks again,
Henry
