I'm working with RIS to create some RIPREP images and would like some help
and suggestions.
What is the best way to organize these images? My CD image in the Image
folder is called WinXPPro.SP2, should I create a different folder for each
image at the same level as this folder, or can I place them in the same
folder?
Do I need to have a sysprep folder on the C: drive before running RIPREP?
I have created one test image and created a new folder in the Image folder
called WinXPPro.HP. I have then used this image on 2 computers with
different results. On a computer identical to the one the image was created
on everything works fine, joins the domain, loads all the proper drives,
etc. When I use it on another system that is almost identical I have
problems. It doesn't join the domain because it doesn't load the network
drivers. Both NIC's are Broadcom. If I load the driver manually it works but
not during the unattended setup. I also have a problem with sound and video
drivers on this system. Again they load after a logon and I need to point
them to the location of the drivers. Is there something I need to add to the
"riprep.sif" file that I'm missing?
Here is the riprep.sif:
[data]
AutoPartition=1
floppyless = "1"
msdosinitiated = "1"
OriSrc = "\\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%"
OriTyp = "4"
LocalSourceOnCD = 1
