Hi All, does anyone have any ideas on how to add
additional network drivers to the install packages on a
RIS server...?
 
what network card are you using, intel site has a few links for there cards
at the support site.
 
Hello Juli,

As a best practice before you add network drivers,

(1) check the Binlsvc.dll and ntldr file versions located in the following
directories

- X:\%Systemroot%\System32\binlsvc.dll

- X:\RemoteInstall\Setup\English\images\your image name\i386\Templates\ntldr

Please obtain the following hotfixes for your RIS server:

315074 Error Message: The Operating System Image You Selected Does Not
Contain
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=315074

and

823658 "Operating System Image You Selected Does Not Contain the Necessary
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=823658

(2) Copy all of your network drivers to the I386 directory of the first
alphabetical CD-Based Image on the RIS server and recycle the BINL service
- please note that RIS checks the first image per operating system in
alphabetical order to retrieve the network drivers for text mode setup.

(3) For GUI-Mode setup, use this article as a reference to place the OEM
NIC drivers

It would be great if you could download the hotfixes microsoft says you need for the setupldr file and the other file they reference as a hotfix. They are no where to be found on there site.
