WINPE + RIS Versus DVD

[globaltech]

All,

I have built a DVD that uses WinPe and installs the XP OS and apps that I require, I deceided to also implement a RIS version and have one slight issue.

Both builds work but I have a timing issue, on the DVD it boots with factory -winpe sets the display initialises the network card etc all fairly quickly, 30 seconds or so, however the same process from RIS takes nearly two minutes to start the network within PE, this happens on all machines, not just one specific type. - any ideas?

I have looked in the WINBOM.LOG and it appears I have a few failures looking for the Winbom.ini (This I think is a seperate issue) it fails three times the picks up the Winbom.ini from RemoteInstall\Setup\English\pexpwinpe\I386\System32 directory, I have placed the Winbom.ini in the pexpwinpe directory and the I386 directory - any ideas why I have the errors in the log file.

Thanks

Steve

You should disable setupapi logging when booting Windows PE from RIS.
