Hi everyone. As you may know, lots of people aren’t interested much of compilation & further development of Windows XP/Server 2003 source code. By referring to guides from 2020/21, I succeed of compilation. Also I will share a simple guide of how to do that (based on https://rentry.co/build-win2k3). Here’s a screenshot to prove that it’s a real compiled build.

Instructions
Create and install Windows 10’s latest version virtual machine, with minimum 120GB disk space and 4GB memory and processor cores
Allocate D:\ disk drive for entire source code (min. 60GB)
Change CD-ROM drive to G:\ (for getting missing files if neccesary)
Disable User Account Control - needs for avoid screens of confirmation
Download source code from link below
Important! Disable Real-Time Protection from Windows Security
Extract source code to D:\srv03rtm
Uncheck read-only from srv03rtm folder
If your host is Windows 10 1809 and later, install driver.pfx from “tools” folder for Local Machine & Current User, else if your host is up to Windows Vista delete driver.pfx, and rename driver_3des.pfx to that.
Run Command Prompt as Administrator, and switch to D:\srv03rtm.
If you’re on x64 host, run tools\razzle64 free offline, else: tools\razzle free offline
Run tools\prebuild for prepare to building
Type build /cZP -M 4 (-M 4 for using all 4 cores of processor)
Extract missing binaries to D:\binaries.x86fre
Type on CMD tools\postbuild -full
Then, write tools\oscdimg pro|per|srv for generating ISO file for XP Professional/Home Edition/Server 2003 Standard Edition
Serial key located at srv03rtm\base\ntsetup\pidgen\pidgen\spidgen.cpp, and it’s HB9CF-JTKJF-722HV-VPBRF-9VKVM
Missing instructions I will write here. You can use guide at top as quick reference to get all missing things. Link to missing binaries of source I will upload later.

I’m 4 months trying to make a build and I can’t do it at all… I’m using Windows XP Pro x86 sp3, I get about 8 errors in a build, and I don’t even know how many in the postbuild… I already I’m discouraged
I used every rentry co guide but it didn’t work

Some questions here:
Can I use Windows 10 x64?
Do I need to change the date? Or create new certificates?
Ray12
u can iirc
Gamerappa13
(late oops) seemed to be an issue with certificates as generating new ones fixed the issue
ash14
nothing need to change. I regenerated certificates in November, 2022. they will be valid for additional 100 years thankfully to guide Win2K3 test certificates utility.
and use minimum Windows 10 1809 (2018 year release), because started from 1809 exists support for newer encryptions of certificates. I recommend you use latest Windows 10 x64 release.

please send errors screenshots or descriptions here

the slightly different certificates might be why setup ends up failing on some build setups. regenerating them to be more accurate to the original ones fixed my setup problem and also let me fully build srv03rtm on windows 7 (which builds it faster due to less background tasks using the hard drive)
maybe, but I don’t know how to generate them for older Windows versions. it seems in some parts needs to turn on -legacy switch for OpenSSL. anyways, in source code exists additional instruction of generation (D:\srv03rtm\tools\openssl.txt). maybe that will help. otherwise, you can use Rentry.co guide for Linux only
it isn’t “linux only” as the two requirements are installable on windows.
i did have a problem where a build would refuse to install afterwards but removing the code regarding this fixed it.

where and which code did you removed?
Gamerappa20
it was somewhere in cmdline.c inside of ntsetup. it should be near the code to check if someone is trying to install a timebombed build after expiration.
