Windows 2003 RIS ERROR

Hello friends:

I have setup a Windows 2003 RIS server, and it has few images on it. But I
have no luck importing those images to the client machines. I get error
message "The operating system image you selected does not contain the
necessary drivers for your network adapter. Try selecting a different
operating system image. If the problem persists, contact your administrator.
Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit" . I even got the hot fix from
Microsoft for this problem, still no luck. I have installed service pack 1
for windows server 2003 still no luck.

Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Regrads.

This issue is often caused by not having the correct driver for the adapter.
If you have a system that has the driver installed correctly, check Msinfo32
for the PNP ID and compare it to the INF file that you are using for the
adapter to confirm that it is listed. If it is, try copying the driver files
to the i386 folder in addition to the driver folder.

You may have seen both of these articles, but if not, look at:

Hi

I agree with Kevin this issue occurs due to incorrect drivers but there is a
work around for this issue.

Try to copy NIC drivers in CD Base Image under i386 directory. Then Refresh
the following services:
Remote Installation
BITS
Trival FTP

After which you can try to deploy the image. Hope fully you will be able to
deploy if the we have copied the drivers in the CD Base Image.

This is know issue with Intel Pro 100/1000 and Boadcom Network Adapters.
Intel is also knows about this issue and they have modified there files which
you can download from there site.

hi

to add a little more there is a specific files structure to use under the i386 directory for the nic drivers in the image, it must also be referenced in the .txt answer file (check this on the MSKB as I cant exactly remeber)oempnpdrivers=<path to drivers>

file structure (from memory)

I386
$oem$
$1
Drivers
NIC

there is a MSKB art that fully explains all of this

Also and this was a doozy when I had the issue even tho I had done everything perfectly there was a fault with the binlsvc.dll in windows 2003 (fixed in sp1 or via hotfix from product support services) but i assume you are using 2k so that wont be the issue

check the knowledge base there at least three article on this subject - i know from experience!!
