Ris woes

[Uraken]

Hi all i created some riprep images that work fine on some machine but on others which appear identical but have different NICs i get error when ris gets to the xp setup stage and then borks at trying to get files from the ris server setup folder can i safely assume that this is down to the network card not being supported natively by xp and that i need to add the drivers to the image?

Uraken, This sounds the most likely cause - u should be able to add the $OEM$ folder structure and edit the .SIF file of the image and then try it again.

umm tried that restarted services still no joy i'm actually happy to create another image with the network card drivers apps etc in full and have two images will this work, or do the drivers need to be supported natively by xp?

I believe that wont help you either as i believe you are talking about the very initial part at the text mode setup which you need to slipstream the NIC drivers into.

 

This will probably explain it better than me:
