Hi Angus,
I am not sure that this will work. I think you might have to install the
service pack and all patches after the clean installation to have a
successful restore.
But there is only one way to be really sure: Try it out!
I don't trust my backups until I have successfully tested a full
restore.......

Subject: [windows2000] Does a system state restore retain the service
pack?
I have a number of remote W2K domain controllers at the far end of
slowish wan links. I use NT Backup to backup the system state locally
every night, compress the .bkf to a .zip file and copy the zip files
onto my NAS during the small hours.
If I had to rebuild a server, could I simply reinstall a basic W2K
server, then restore the system state. Would SPs be maintained or would
I have to apply the proper SP before doing the restore?
