I knew things were going too smoothly. I've created my
prototype XP Pro workstation after setting up my RIS
server according to the description in Mark
Minasi's "Mastering W2K Server", 3rd ed., pp. 139 to 151.
The RIS server is authorized in DHCP and set to respond to
requests from clients.
As I was attempting to run riprep.exe I got the following
error: "The RIS server to which you are attempting to post
this installation does not contain the correct CD-based
image. The version of the CD-based image on the server
must match the version of the system you are attempting to
image [version 5.1, build 2600, lang. English]. Please
either select a different RIS server to post this
installation to or add the corresponding CD-based image to
the current RIS server."
Ok, prior to attempting to run riprep.exe I found that
there were some updates and hotfixes to the RIS utilities
so the version of riprep.exe I'm running is 5.1.3590.0
dated 11/19/2001. This is from the hotfix
Q313069_W2K_SPL_X86_EN.exe. I also have hotfixes for KB
articles 327536 and 308508 but I don't think those apply
to me as I'm already running SP4 on the RIS server which
should have incorporated hotfix Q327536... and the other
applies to creating a W2K Server image which doesn't apply
to me.
When I first installed the RIS service the first image I
installed from the CD WAS an XP Pro image since we have no
W2K Pro system on the network. I'm not sure it's in the
right location, though. It's located from the RIS share
\\<server_name>\REMINST\Setup\English\Images\XP.pro .
Could a non-default location be part of the problem? I
don't remember having a choice as to where this first
image was to be deposited but I don't remember any
problems with copying the I386 files to the server. Is
there another location I can move these installation files
to or how do I add another CD-based installation file
group onto the server?
I've backed up the original files under
REMINST\Admin\I386.
Thanks.
