It is bizzare. I move the old driver files back into the i386 folder for the image, I left the $oem$\$1\Drivers\Lan folder with the same driver files in it. I then move the E1000325.cat, .din, .inf and .sys files into the i386 folder of a basic XP Pro with SP2 image that is on the server. I then booted the client up and it has now all worked. Very strange. Many thanks for the help anyway.

I am having problems using RIS to get an image onto a machine with the Intel Pro/1000 GT NIC in it. I keep getting the infamous 'image does not contain the necessary drivers' error message. I created the image as I needed it to be and then used riprep to upload the image to the RIS server (this is a server 2003 machine). I have extracted the drivers for the NIC and put them into the 'RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\ImageName\i386' folder (which had no other files in it, only a couple of folders - I presume this is correct) and also created the 'RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\ImageName\$oem$\$1\Drivers\Lan' folder and put the drivers in it and this did not work. I then removed the drivers from the i386 folder and replaced it with the E1000325.INF file that Intel have on their website (as per the instructions on the Intel website) but this still didn't work (didn't know whether this would work anyway as the new inf file contains no mention of the Pro/1000 GT in it). I am probably missing something simple here but was hoping someonw could point me in the right direction. Cheers

Does anyone know why Solitaire is still being installed onto machines even though I have asked for it not to be. I have the line Solitaire=Off in my answer file but it isn't working even though all the other games are being uninstalled.

I am booting from the CD. Am I right in presuming that I still need to keep the unattend.bat file that is created when I create the answer file? Does this batch file go into the I386 folder as well or does ot go somewhere else?

New to this and have a couple of problems: Am trying to run an unattended setup from CD but it is just ignoring the answer file (winnt.sif) and asking me to answer all of the install questions. Have copied the winnt.sif file into the I386 folder on the CD but ut still doesn't want to work. The unattended setup works pretty much as I want it to if I copy the files to floppy disk and use normal XP cd but not on my own created one - any ideas anyone? Also I have another question - when I run the unattended setup from floppy disk the only thing it doesn't do is logon to our domain. I have asked it to logon to a domain and given it a user account to use to create a computer account but it just doesn't want to work - hope someone can help with this as well Thanks
