Windows 2003 Server Download
Ek rishta movie watch online. I have to install new servers(3) with Win Server 2003 R2 as OS.Is there some way to install all needed updates at once, because I don`t want to download all updates from Microsoft Update and wait for hours. Something as cumulative updates or some pack of updates or something like that.
Dear Spice team, Where can I find/download a Windows 2003 server standard ISO? It can be with SP1 or SP2, but must be the standard version the NOS. Windows 2003 Server std ISO needed - Windows Server - Spiceworks - Page 2. I need to know if there is a utility built-in to Windows Server 2003 that I can use from the command line to download a file using only one command. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol that allows clients on a network to request network configuration settings from a server running the DHCP server service which, in our case, will be Windows Server 2003.Additionally the protocol allows the clients to self-configure those network configuration settings without the intervention of an administrator.
Thanks

If you can put up a WSUS server you can have it download the updates once and distribute them to other machines. You can modify the local group policy of each machine, if you don't use Active Directory (and thus can't use a Group Policy Object), to direct them to your WSUS server.
Failing WSUS, you might consider downloading all the pending updates and use a tool like nLite to slipstream the updates onto your installation media.
This is a real hack, but one other thing you could do would be as follows:
Install one of the machines and allow it to download updates from the 'Windows Update' site and present you with a 'Ready to install updates' dialog. Then, perform the following: Black swan game.
Stop the 'Automated Updates' service.
Open a command prompt and paste in the following commands:
(Those commands will install most of the pending updates silently w/o making backup copies of the replaced files. Be aware that .NET Framework update, MSXML updates, and application updates won't be installed by this method.)

Install the other 2 machines but don't allow them to perform updates automatically. Copy the contents of the '%SystemRoot%SoftwareDistibutionDownload' directory from the first machine to each of the remaining machines and perform the procedure above on those machines.
Remove the contents of the '%SystemRoot%SoftwareDistibution' on both machines while the 'Automated Updates' service is stopped, then reboot and allow the machines to detect updates again. The remaining '.NET Framework' and other updates will be detected and installed.
(That procedure is basically what I do when prepping a new machine w/ updates from WSUS. I manually execute the updates that don't install via the 'for ..' loops when they're done, then clean the machine up. I detest having the '$NtUninstall..' directories on brand new machines, and that method prevents them from being created..)

Hi guys sorry to bump an old thread but I am desperate to obtain a copy of Windows Server 2003 Std x64 (Volume License). I have a legit key all registered on MS but unfortunately under downloads it shows nothing available due to end of life.
Does anybody have the media they could share with a desperate technician? I have an SFTP server which can provide login details or a delivery address (happy to pay postage). I have tried all means available to me and I cannot seem to get this version down from anywhere, its like gold dust!!!
Regards,
Adam
