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:\Temp\SP2
using the /x command line option.
Create a folder called SP2 in C: Program Files\Microsoft VSMT\Patches Source\5.2.3790\. Copy all the XML files
from the …\5.2.3790 directory to the
…\5.2.3790\SP2 directory. Copy the following
files from C:\TEMP\SP2 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:\temp\sp2
Now your VSMT installation is ready to
migrate Windows Server 2003 servers with
SP2 installed.
jtrav, thanks for your feedback! I asked the author, Robert Larson, to clarify. His answer: "I guess it was implied but not specific. Copy the files to this directory: c:\Program Files\Microsoft VSMT\Patches\Source\5.2.3790\SP2."
When i extract the SP2 files, all files are ending with '_' (eg., ntoskrnl.ex_). Should i need to rename them? Even after renaming them, i still getting the same error. Let me know what should be done.
Cheers
