On Thu, 5 Oct 2006 10:12:40 -0400, Bahta, Nathaniel V CTR USAF NASIC/SCNA [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: See I thought that as well, but if I were missing something in my MassStorageControllers section, then it would not even boot up to the splash screen, it would just BSOD with inaccessible boot device. I believe this is true. That BSOD would occur before Windows switches to graphical mode. I suspect you have a HAL problem. Look at Device Manager on the 2650 and the 2850. Look under Computer. Does the 2650 say Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC and the 2850 say ACPI Multiprocessor or ACPI Uniprocessor? If so, this is the problem. There is no *supported* method for swapping out these two HAL's. Google around, a swapout can be done, however. Otherwise you'll need two images.

I'd poke around what DOS utilities Dell ships that you can do as part of your imaging process. Compaq I can pull this off I'm sure, and Dell usually gets the message within a few years to have the same wise idea, but no guarantees.

Specifically I can get the image to apply via PXE, but once it boots up to go through the SYSPREP mini-setup, the splash screen appears and it reboots, it just keeps doing that. The same image works fine on another version of the PowerEdge, but on the other model it just continuously reboots.

ADS seems to look promising, but its hard to get one SYSPREP image for all of my DCs even though they are all flavors of Dell PowerEdge, it has proven difficult. Does anyone know of a good solution to restore a DC from the ground up utilizing a network connection, without inserting disk and going through the steps.
