hi i was can someone help me with this
i have just installed ris on my win2003 server all client machines are winxp
i used riprep create some images on my server. now one image is a basic winxp the other is winxp with office etc. i use the ris boot disk since the nics havent got built in pxe.
now the problem is that i have other computers with a intel pro/100 ve internet card that cant boot with the disk because the images were created from a machine with a different nic.
i want to ADD drivers to the boot disk so i can start pxe on other computers. ive tried followin the microsoft articles but it doesnt work. can someone give me a clear cut way to add drivers to my existing riprep images and boot disk so i can start pxe on the comps with the different network cards

You can't add drivers to the RBFG boot disk, thats a privilage the good folks at Redmond reserved for themselves.

But, I thought all the Intel Pro 100 NICs were PXE capable (you just gotta turn it on in the BIOS)

Other things to remember: You *must* have a cd based xp image on the server too (not just riprep images).. the riprep images need the cd image for certian files, including some drivers... and, when following the MS how-to docs for adding OEM drivers to the RIS installs, add them to the cd based image as well as the riprep image.

Hope that helps ya'


When all else fails, say the technican who is (a safe) 100 miles away burnt out a few more blades on that lovely beast of a Cisco router... *AGAIN*
