Howdy,

New to RIS and am loving it! I have always created ghost images so I am familiar with automated desktop deployments. I am using the cd image type (not riprep) and some of the options in the SIF file are not being applied to my installation. Can someone help figure out what I am missing? The items that are not working are

1. Time Zone is not being set properly

2. Nothing in [Display] is being applied

3. Nothing in [TapiLocation] is being applied

4. Nothing in [Components] is being applied. I don't want these components installed, but they are being installed.

Have you tried your answer file without the quotes around the setting values, and without the extraneous spaces? Using the ProvideDefault profile can be quirky in RIS (whereas it isn't in sysprep and straight setup, for whatever reason).

Thank you for the reply. I removed the extra spaces and quotes, but still the same result. This is so frustrating for something that is so simple. Here is what the SIF looks like now...

I currently use variations of the answer file below with no issues. Are you positive your video and communications drivers are installing properly during GUI mode setup? If they are not, those sections will fail.
