Here is a SWAG. I know you said that you don't think network connectivity is the issue. Have you tried other switch ports or could the possibly be attributed to the client NICs in some way. I know you said it worked the first few times. I have had lock up problems with some 3Com NIC when transferring large amounts of data and this could be another instance of a similar problem. I guess the long an short of it is I would rule out some underlying network issue.

They'll charge you the $250 up front but return it because it's a fix only available from them. Other than that, I don't what else to say... Sorry. Good luck with it though.

It talks about the install hanging up at the same point it is hanging up on me and one of the possible problems is a SP2 server. I installed ris on another server just to eliminate that possibility. -Ryan N.

All of ours are at SP2 and we haven't had a problem. I even copy images from .NET servers to Win2K servers and all work fine.

In fact I tried to use the original CD instead of the Riprep image to see if maybe the problem was with the image. I have not modified the .sif file, and the image is in a separate folder.

So I take it your building an image first and then using the RIPrep.exe util to copy it back up to the server? You're not removing the original copy of the CD are you? You're putting the image into it's own folder and leaving there? Are you modifying the .sif file in any way?

I also checked the event log and there is nothing there except messages stating that the RIS server successfully created the computer account for the target machine. Yesterday afternoon I re-booted the server and once it was back up I was able to image 2 machines, then the problem started all over again. I have since tried re-booting the server but it does not help. I found another article in technet about the lock-up problem but its resolution was to keep the machine connected to the network until setup has finished. Both the client and the server are plugged into the same switch so I do not believe network connectivity is an issue. Anyone have any other ideas?? -Ryan N.

Are there any BINL errors in the Event Viewer?

The first couple of days everything was working great. I was able to create images, download the images to other machines, ect. After a few days the machines that I was putting the image on would get to the "starting windows 2000" screen in text mode but will not go any further. Exact same hardware, bios rev, ect. After fighting with it for a wile I tried to re-image a machine that I had successfully imaged previously and it was now locking up in the same place. After looking at some info on Microsoft's site they recommended not running it on a service pack 2 server. So, I moved the "ris server" to a different machine (fresh install of Windows 2000 server no SP), re-created the images on the server thinking this would resolve the problem. Nope, same issue, I can no longer "install" the images to any machine. I have not been able to find any more info on Microsoft's site. I have tried disabling and removing all non-essential hardware, updating the BIOS on the target machine, all with no avail. I can successfully load 2000 on the target machine using the CD, but I want to use RIS as the identical setup needs to go on quite a few machines. Anyone run into anything like this? Any ideas? -Ryan N.
