are there any builtin options to accomplish this with A. Windows Server 2003
and B. Windows Server 2008?

Looking to have one central repository of image files (.wim's) and other
files such as ISO's be maintained at one site on a file share and have the
file share be replicated/synchronized to about 6 other sites. What options
are already available within the OS? (FRS?) Binary deltas supported?

if none already builtin does anyone have any good recommendations for a
third party package? The files I need replicated/synchronized are mostly
large files from 600MB - 8GB in size.
