gbkyle Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hey I've searched around a bit but couldnt find an exact answer to this question. I just set up a quick RIS Server using 2k3 and I have my Unattended XP ISO ready to go. Now I had the RIS server copy the files over or whatever using the wizard. When i ran a PXE install i dont think it was using my WINNT.SIF file that I created because the install asked me for a CDKEY. From what I've read the RIS server uses its of .SIF file? Can i just copy and paste my winnt.sif into the RIS's .SIF and just keep the boot options or what not? Do I just drop my winnt.sif into a folder? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

RogueSpear Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 You apparently didn't search that much. And didn't even notice the RIS subforum right at the top of this one. Take a look in there and you'll find everything you need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I second Roguespear - this has been asked many times before. I will answer your question, but next time do look harder.The .sif file needs to be in the \\server\reminst\setup\images\<language>\<image>\i386\templates folder. However, RIS .sif files have lots of things in them (that you need) that you won't already have - I strongly suggest merging your .sif file with the existing ristndrd.sif file already in the Templates folder, then restarting the binlsvc service (net stop binlsvc && net start binlsvc).
