Hello to you all..... i am pretty new here on this forum, but ill hope that,s no problem. Also my english writing skills is not to well either, but i,am gonna do my best. I am a Sytem Administrator in a Company in the Netherlands and i am use Ris to install all the new systems here. This method was always very fine to me, but lately i installed a machine with a risprep that needed after the install some other components which were the "Internet Information Services Snap-in" but then suddenly the computer asks for the winxpsp2 installation disc to copy some files. This is normal if you do a regular installation. I also have a distribution share on the network here with winxp with sp2 integrated. But the system doesn, t want to copy the files anyway if i redirect him to that share for the needed files? This xp distribution share is the original installation wich i used for my sysprep. And for a normal Ris windowsxp installation. Thank you for any suggestions Leon
