Adding Network Dirvers to RIS

[Andy B]

I have to Add Third-Party OEM Network Adapters to our RIS Installation,
Can someone shed some light on this?

If you want a tutorial, you can visit my site and look at the OEM driver
section (Intel drivers). There are also many KB articles on it.

Scott,

A million thank-yous for the Broadcom example. I've been having that exact
problem with my test system (the only system that has PXE) for RIS and it
was proving to be a stumbling-block.

Thanks again

Oli

Good deal Scott,

I had been chasing drivers for about 2 weeks before Dell provided me with
solid ones.

thanks!

Thanks Diane and Oli. I'll add to the $oem$ driver list as my own
environment forces me to "make things work".

You are more than welcome to contribute to my new info site on drivers,
information, links, etc (http://www.mvps.org/serverstuff/) and for that
matter, anyone is welcome to contribute. Please let me know what
steps/files work for you for drivers, deployment, etc. I'll give you full
credit and it will help all of us in the future. Email me at
(e-mail address removed) (eliminate NOSPAM).

I am especially eager to start a new section of good scripting tools for
Win2k/2003 admins - we all love em when they work!
