RIS / Sysprep Issue


Recommended Posts

Using 2003 RIS Server to deploy XP SP2 image (with all drivers installed)

Image deploys ok to machine but when the 'mini-setup', sysprep runs for the first time it takes upto 9 mins for windows to install the network components.

After this long pause, the machine successfully joins the domain.

The machine in question is a HP nc6220 laptop which as a Broadcom NIC, Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG NIC and integrated Bluetooth.

Any ideas how I can cut down on the amount of time it takes to install the networking components?

Sorry - I don't understand.

If you're using the RIS server to deploy XPSP2 images, where does Sysprep come into this?

You're using RIS to deploy the image, then Sysprepping the result for some reason? Why?

I think what he's referring to is RIPrep. Basically it allows RIS to deploy a canned image kind of like sysprep does with CD/DVD media. I don't like procedure at all, but it does seem to have quite a following.

to Br4tt3 - think the same :)

If you dhcp server send to deploying machine only IP - big reason to long resolveing NAME, IP of Primary Domain Controller. Try to manually set network parameters like:

[MS_TCPIP parameters]

DeadGWDetectDefault = No

DNSDomain = fabrikam.com

DNSSuffixSearchOrder = server1.fabrikam.com, fabrikam.com

DontAddDefaultGatewayDefault = No

EnableICMPRedirect = No

EnableLMHosts = Yes

EnableSecurity = Yes

ScopeID = REDMOND

SyncDomainWithMembership = 1

UseDomainNameDevolution = No

[params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter01]

SpecificTo = Adapter01

DisableDynamicUpdate = No

EnableAdapterDomainNameRegistration = No

DefaultGateway = 193.1.1.1

DHCP = Yes

DHCPClassId = abc

DNSDomain = fabrikam.com

DNSServerSearchOrder = server1.fabrikam.com, fabrikam.com

IPAddress = 193.1.1.33,193.1.1.34

IpAllowedProtocols = 10

NetBIOSOptions = 1

TcpAllowedProtocols = 10

UdpAllowedProtocols = 10

SubnetMask = 193.1.1.255

WINS = Yes

WINSServerList = 193.1.1.95,193.1.1.97

---

And another solution - disable Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG NIC and integrated Bluetooth and test after this.

"where does Sysprep come into this?" at final stage, then resealing deployed OS :)
