RIS and KB835732 don't work with each other!

[Guest]

After applying pesky Windows Update KB835732 (MS04-011) to a computer, I am
no longer able to use the RipRep.exe utility to rip images to the RIS
server.

You'll receive this lovely message:
The RIS server to which you are attempting to post this installation does
not contain the correct CD-based image. The version of the CD-based image on
the server must match the version of the system you are attempting to image.
Please either select a different RIS server to post this installation to or
add the corresponding CD-based image to the current RIS server.
when you start Riprep.

Anyone know if MS knows about it? I remember the exact same thing happening
around this time last year right before they released SP4.

(I'm using W2K Server Sp4 to delpoy W2K Pro SP4 images)

This is because the hotfix updates the ntoskrnl.exe file and riprep
needs to have the same version on the RIS Server system image.

Solution:
Replace the original ntoskrnl.exe on the RIS server with the hotfixed
ntoskrnl.exe from the client

That's a bit dangerous... what about my other images that don't have the
hotfix applied? When I image machines who knows what will happen?

You can always upload an extra Windows 2000 SP4 system image and
replace ntoskrnl.exe in that one....

I had the same problem. I followed KB Article 828930 and
everything started working with the image. But, I should
say that we just got done updating all of our images, so I
can't help you on if it screws up the other ones.
