I am trying to get a Dell GX260 to pull a flat/clean/basic xp sp1 image. I downloaded the drivers, extracted the contents, copied the contents into the i386 and $OEM$\$1\drivers\network. Here is my ristndrd.sif (template folder) configuration: [data] floppyless = "1" msdosinitiated = "1" OriSrc = "\\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%\%MACHINETYPE%" OriTyp = "4" LocalSourceOnCD = 1 DisableAdminAccountOnDomainJoin = 1 [SetupData] OsLoadOptions = "/noguiboot /fastdetect" SetupSourceDevice = "\Device\LanmanRedirector\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%" [Unattended] OemPreinstall = yes OemPnpDriversPath = "drivers\network" FileSystem = LeaveAlone ExtendOEMPartition = 0 TargetPath = \WINDOWS OemSkipEula = yes InstallFilesPath = "\\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%\%MACHINETYPE%" LegacyNIC = 1 [UserData] FullName = "%USERFIRSTNAME% %USERLASTNAME%" OrgName = "%ORGNAME%" ComputerName = %MACHINENAME% [GuiUnattended] OemSkipWelcome = 1 OemSkipRegional = 1 TimeZone = %TIMEZONE% AdminPassword = "*" [Display] BitsPerPel = 16 XResolution = 800 YResolution = 600 VRefresh = 60 [Networking] [NetServices] MS_Server=params.MS_PSched [Identification] JoinDomain = %MACHINEDOMAIN% DoOldStyleDomainJoin = Yes [RemoteInstall] Repartition = Yes UseWholeDisk = Yes [OSChooser] Description = "Windows Professional" Help = "This will install Windows Professional in a standard configuration." LaunchFile = "%INSTALLPATH%\%MACHINETYPE%\templates\startrom.com" ImageType = "Flat" Also, is there a difference between the ristndrd.sif in the i386 and the templates folder? Do they need to match each other?

Objective: I have a very basic rough draft for a RIS server. It designed to be used for only the small computer repair shop in my company. Its sole purpose is to reload clients with the required baseline software and OS. Specfications: Single Server - HP dx5150, containing SiS SATA and Broadcom NIC. OS - Server 2003 Topology - Isolated Workgroup Clients - Mostly Dell Optiplex GX 240, 260, 270, 280, 520, 620, and various Latitude laptops. # of clients - 5, Windows 2000 and up only, No WINS needed DHCP Scope - 128.64.0.0 ~ 254, SN - 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway - 128.64.0.1 Server IP - 128.64.0.5 Progress: So basically I have a fresh install of 2003; a very simple AD, DHCP, & DNS configuration. I have authorized the DHCP server, installed RIS from Add/Remove components, ran Risetup.exe, and created a clean XP Pro image. Questions: In order for this to work, do I need to add the SATA and NIC drivers to the ristndrd.sif? Am I supposed to create an $OEM$ folder in the same level as the i386 folder? Is the guide to do this on the msfn forum or at microsoft technet?
