RIS/Windows File Protection/Service Packs

[Gregory Bashaw]

I've recently setup RIS in a test lab and am evaluating
it for OS Deployment.

I'm running W2kAdvanced SP4
I've created the base for Windows 2000 Professional.
After loading SP4 on the Pro computer, I receive a
Windows File Protection saying it cannot locate the
network location to copy files for the DLL cache.
I've seen other posts here about RIS and RIPrep
requirements for maintaining Base images vs RIPrep.
Do I have to load a Base OS with each SP version that is
released?

Thanks,
Greg

Thanks!
The article did resolve the issue with WFP prompting for
location.
I'm still a little concerned about applying service packs
on the RIS clients.
If the RIS image was created with SP1 and deployed to a
workstation the article fix of changing the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on\Setup will still point WFP back to the SP1 source
after a higher service pack is applied if WFP cannot pull
the files from the dllcache.
Do you know if there are any plans to integrate RIS and
SUS to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Greg

When you install a future service pack, the %systemroot%\Servicepackfiles
folder is created and contains the service pack files that are used by
Windows File Protection (WFP). See the following articles for more
information about the %systemroot%\Servicepackfiles folder:
