Hi,
Based on the problem description, the issue you are experiencing is:When
you try to deploy a RIS image, you get the error message saying: ¡°The
operating system image you selected does not contain the necessary drivers
for your network adapter¡±
NOTE: You have to add the NIC drivers to both CD-Based image and RIPRep
image.
1. Obtain the latest NIC driver from the vendor.
2. On the RIS server, copy the OEM-supplied .inf and .sys files for the
network
adapter to the RemoteInstall\Setup\Language\Images\Dir_name\i386 folder.
This
allows Setup to use the driver during the text-mode portion of the
installation.
NOTE: Please copy the files into both CD-Based image and Riprep image.
3. At the same level as the i386 folder on the RIS image, create a $oem$
folder.
Use the following structure:
\$oem$\$1\Drivers\Nic
4. Copy the OEM-supplied driver files to this folder. Note the folder in
which the
..inf file looks for its drivers. Some manufacturers place the .inf file in
a folder
and copy the driver files from a subfolder. If this is the case, create the
same
folder structure below the one you created in this step.
5. Make the following changes to the .sif file that is used for this image
installation:
[Unattended]
OemPreinstall = yes
OemPnpDriversPath = \Drivers\Nic
DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore
6. Stop and then restart the Remote Installation service (BINLSVC) on the
RIS
server. To do this, type the following commands at the command prompt and
press
ENTER after each command:
net Stop binlsvc
net Start binlsvc
NOTE: Stopping and restarting the Remote Installation service is necessary
because
the Boot Information Negotiation Layer (BINL) needs to read all the new
network
adapter-related .inf files and create .pnf files in the image. This is a
time-consuming task and is performed only when the Remote Installation
service
starts.
After doing these steps, please try to deploy the CD-Based image to the
client
first. If the CD-Based image works, try the Riprep image.
Hope this helps.
