RIS Installations

[sbdegroft]

I'm trying to us RIS to install XP to multiple machines. The NIC drivers for my NIC cards are not on the image and therefore RIS will not work. How can I slipstream them in? Thanx!

You should consider posting this in the dedicated Unattended RIS forum - or better yet, search there first. You would've found the answer right away, as this is a (very) common question.

Can anyone post the deploy.cab files from the windowsvista beta cds? Maybe the major tools work with XP too.

it being a beta means that isn't possible once it is out of the beta stages it will be available for everybody, plus that is against the rules of the forums

Maybe,.. but I don't see large companies jumping into Vista any time soon. That is a MAJOR investment.RIS will be going strong for at least another 5 years or more.
