meeuws Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Your right, the .sif file(s) in the \templates are used by RIS.Yes you can have more than 1 .sif in templates. This way you can add different stuff in [GuiRunOnce] while using the same i386 source. Or making a .sif for AutoPartition (using the whole disk) and another .sif for manual partitioning.The .sif in \i386 can be ignore when you using RIS because it's used for making an unattended cd.

anyweb Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) try and give each sif file its own logical name, so if you are doing a ris install of xpsp2 on a HP laptop you could call it hplapxpsp2.sifand so on, after a few years of creating sif files you'll be glad you didand in fact, the RIS server will complain that the 'message from the server was too big' if you have too many SIF files in your templates folder, to resolve simply create a sub dir in it and call it 'old_sifs' or something, then cut/paste the oldest or most unused sifs into there.cheersanyweb Edited December 17, 2007 by anyweb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
