    This doesn’t matter. The only important things here are the files’ timestamps inside the ISO and its hashes (SHA-1, MD5 etc).

    Short summary. The Windows 2000 Datacenter ISOs mentioned above are:
    Code:
    93e6f836d9bbda82d5e8860aff174e4574ea5990 *en_win2000_dc_sp4.iso             ["homebrew"]
    de741cd1f46e18583b27112e350a73340e01242c *w2dfpp_en.iso                     ["non-original"]
    7964004a45c70215681e73242f18cc357ff249b8 *5.00.2195.6717_x86fre_dtcserver_en-us.iso
    8e7ae5c5d791958fb9e6b55b17a2e53236982474 *microsoft windows 2000 datacenter server (sp1).iso
    
    The last two are available at winworld, are they original? Vanelle?

    Does anyone have any other Windows 2000 Datacenter ISOs?

    Files inside image may be untouched but that doesn´t make image untouched original distributive ISO.

    Again:
    MOST iso (#1 - #23) are NOT origignal M$ iso's

    they based on a original iso with manual slipstreamd SP's
    -> user made

    M$ valid only:
    Code:
    RTM - OEM
    8E7AE5C5D791958FB9E6B55B17A2E53236982474 *[ENU] en_w2k_W2D_OEM_20000808.iso
    Note: lable is W2DFPP_EN but it seems to be from OEM  channel

    Google knows nothing about what you wrote here, literally “zero” info.

    This kind of Windows 2000, actually, is not OEM but Select (aka VL). Such distros have 270 PID as this has. This distro was never sold to any regular customers. So if anybody can ask Microsoft about it — it would be very nice.

    Thank you, Vanelle, for checking and clarifying.

    Could someone please be so nice and provide this ISO (8E7AE5C5D791958FB9E6B55B17A2E53236982474), so that the rest of us can take a look at it?

    Use find function in your browser to cross-check, really saves time and confusion.
    Internet Explorer is CTRL+F
