I agree with Andy. The $1 & $$ are placemarkers not just directories used during the setup process and are equivalent to %systemdrive% and %windir%. So $1$ is meaningless. I also strongly suggest you create your default RIS Windows XP install and then save changes in a duplicated directory structure (eg remoteinstall.add) and robocopy this to the reminst share and then restart binlsvc. That way its easy to see what you've added (or missed) Just remeber to delete any files from the live RIS share if you remove them from your add structure. Also makes it easy to replicate the RIS config for other OSes! Hope this helps Chris
