RE: [ActiveDir] RIS Headaches

[Jad Mouracad�]

Don't forget to stop and restart the BINL service. However, since it sounds you're already doing this and it's not working, there might be one step you're missing. In the i386 directory containing the Windows installation file, be sure to delete the PNF file associated with the intel driver. If in doubt, you can safely delete all the PNF files. They'll be recreated the next time you start a remote installation, as long as you restart the BINL service.   (depending on your server's power, it could take several minutes for the PNF files to be recreated from all the INF files. Be patient, you can monitor what the server is doing with the Task Manager or PERFMON).   Good luck, Jad   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: August 22, 2004 5:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] RIS Headaches 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
