Hi guys. Anybody know if you can get WPI working with RIS? Hope everyone isnt as cold as I am. Hurts to type!! Systemsmb

Firstly thank you both for replying so quickly. As far is RIS is concerned all I have managed to do is create a RIS install setup whilst using Systemmanager wizard to create and anaswer file and although not entirely sure how also get it to install SIS SATA drivers so I didnt have to press F6 and then insert the floppy disk. So do you mean it would be better to go no further than adding driver support (using Microsoft's method) as far as modification is concerned? That would make sense as we only tend to use 2-3 different types at one time anyway and only change them every 6 months. As far as getting RIS to install application after Windows is installed, how is this done? You mentioned scripts? Is this using VB? Oh and yes please if you could post more off your stuff as it all helps me to learn. Thanks again SystemsMB

Hi, Stumbled accross this forum last week after having spent a couple of weeks messing around with our new Windows 2003 Server and RIS here at work. I am senior workshop technician of a small computer firm and we are OEM system builders. One big problem we are suffering from at the moment is the time involved in building a PC and after doing a little research I discovered RIS and decided to begin tackling this problem by focusing firstly on shortening the time it took us to install Windows XP. I have seen various 3rd party utilities (e.g. RISult and AutoRIS) but it seemed alot to take in and I felt like I was drowning a little bit. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? I have no quarms in spending alot of time on a particular method if that is what is required but do not want to be spending alot of time on somthing when there is an better alternative. Does anybody use RIS similar to the way I wish to? Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance Systemsmb
