I've got it. just to let you know. i don't think that this error will happen anyone else, because this hardware combination won't be used very often. the bug is caused by a hardware device. a pci-card from gerdes. it's a primary multiplex card called primux-4S2M. talked to the vendor and it will be fixed in the next driver release. thanks to all BruceLee

no wake up events enabled

no errors. i start thinking it might be a combination of windows server 2003 and firmware/bios from dell. any suggestions are welcome thanks brucelee

Hi Everybody, Hope someone can help me out. I have 14 servers rolled out by ris with a riprep-image. Everything worked fine. after the rollout i have updated the system through windows update function. now the strange thing. I can't shutdown the servers. If i do so, the server shuts down normally but then boots up again. the system is a poweredge 2850 with latest frimware versions. does anybody have a clue what i can do to get rid of this error? thanks BruceLee

first of all. thanks mmarable. but how? I have installed a new server with server2003 with sp1 and made a new image from it and it doesnt work with the flat image with sp1, just with the old one. btw: why do i have to sync? riprep is an exact mirror from the source, or not? which files are used from the flat image for a new computer if i use a rirpep image? thanks BruceLee

Hi everybody, I have a question about flat images on ris servers for ris- and riprep-images. Long time ago I have installed ris in our network for deploying XPsp1 and Server2003. For that i used one flat image of an xp cd (volume lincese) version: 5.1.(0) and another one with server2003 (volume lincese) version: 5.2.(0). for xp i always use ris-images. for server2003 i always use riprep-images. all works fine.but now... Now the sp1 for server2003 is out and sp2 for xp. and i have made some new riprep-images for server2003 with sp1. deploying them on the ris server with the old flat image (version 5.2.(0) ) makes no problems, but with the new one that i have created from the server2003sp1-cd (volume lincese) version: 5.1.(3790) the image doesnt't work properly.when setup reaches the end of the text mode portion, right before it reboots and continues with GUI setup, it tries to copy five raid driver files to the local machine (C:\windows\oemdir and C:\windows\system32\dirvers] and can't. It displays an error stating cannot copy mraid35x,sys with retry, skip or exit as options. If I skip this file the same message appears for other files *.inf, and *.cat. Upon skipping all files the PC reboots continually reboots. do i have to change the flat images on the ris server if i want to deploy a riprep image of server2003 with sp1 or can i leave the old flat image? is it ok to deploy servers from riprep-images containing sp1 with a flat image without sp1? thanks to everybody. any help is welcome.
