RE: [ActiveDir] RIS Headaches

[james . blair]

Edwin,   Get the latest driver set from Intel and copy the *.cat; *.sys & *.inf directly into:   \\%ServerPath%\REMINST\Setup\English\Images\%ImageName%\i386 folder   This has worked for me in past and also subverts the necessity to use $OEM$ etc. which in my experience is not always reliable...   James   From: Edwin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 23 August 2004 4:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] RIS Headaches   I did add the drivers.  I did that according to the article at URL http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;315279 and http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;246184   Are you talking about adding the drivers a different way?  If so, how?  I thought by me adding the \$oem$\$1\Drivers\NIC and updating the *.sif file I would be defining an alternate driver installation location.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe L.

Try selecting a different operating system image. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator. Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit."     The network card that I have within the machine is supported by RIS (Intel(R) PRO/100 Desktop Adapter) and is successfully initialized, receives an IP Address and allows for domain authentication.  As part of the resolution in the above URL, I am asked to download the latest service pack for Windows 2000.  I am not sure how I am supposed to download and install that since I have yet to install the new image.   Under the notes section, it does mention that I can receive this error if I am running RIS on a Win2003 machine.  This is exactly what I am doing.  I am trying to use RIS on Win2K3 to deploy Win2K Pro.   I have read and followed the instructions from the below URL's but the status still has not changed.   http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;246184 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;254078 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;325862     I have also reviewed and downloaded the latest available version of the drivers from the Microsoft Windows Catalog from within Windows Update.   I am at a loss here.  Can anyone please help?   Thank you in advance, Edwin
