I have installed RIS on a new member server and installed
Win2K Pro on a workstation with all the apps. I have the
default win2000.pro image on the server using the same CD
as the workstation. The problem is when I try to use
riprep on the workstation and point to the server, it
tells me: The version of the CD-based image on the server
must match the version of the system you are attempting to
copy. Does this have anything to do with Service Packs?
The CD image has SP3 and the system I am trying to copy
has SP4. If so, can I update the CD image to SP4?

Please advise,
Thanks, Dan
 
Dan,
The simple answer is yes, both will have to be at the same Service Pack
level. Here is a quick explanation of the process but try the KB for more
details if needed.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use Risetup.exe to create a CD-ROM-based RIS image
that has a slipstreamed service pack. To do so, follow these steps:
1.. Copy the contents of the Windows 2000 Professional CD-ROM to a shared
folder on a server (or a local folder on the RIS server that is not managed
by Single Instance Storage [SIS]).
2.. In the Windows 2000 service pack source files, run the
update -s:folder command to slipstream the source files with the service
pack.
3.. When the slipstreaming process is complete, run Risetup.exe on the RIS
server to add a new image to the server. If you are prompted for the
location of the files, type the path to the slipstream share you created in
steps 1 and 2.
 
Thanks Monty, I'll give it a try.
