How to get D600 to work with RIS

Question

Response from Broadcom: This is a step by step to configure the RIS server:

Create folders "\$oem$\$1\Drivers\Nic" under a share directory

RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\winxpimage

Copy Broadcom drivers b57xp32.inf, b57xp32.sys and b57xp32.cat into a folder

RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\winxpimage\$oem$\$1\Drivers\Nic

Copy Broadcom drivers b57xp32.inf and b57xp32.sys into a folder

RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\winxpimage\I386"

Modify the b57xp32.inf by removing the (, NTx86.5.1) and (.NTx86.5.1) in

RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\winxpimage\I386

Modify the file RISTNDRD.SIF under folder directory

RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\winxpimage\I386\Templates with

;DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore (remove this line if using with .cat file)

OemPreInstall = Yes

OemPnpDriversPath = \Drivers\Nic

Restart the Remote Installation and Background Intelligent Transfer Service

in Computer Management\Services to update the change. Stop the service and

Start the service again.

Please help,

Have replicated this solution, but still doesnt work for me. I get past the normal RIS unknown network drivers problems. But once i pull down a RIS image with the fiexes included the image comes down, but once rebooting then says the the network adaptors have successfully installed.

Great

But then reboots and says

overwrite protection

The following file is already on your computer.

c:\windows\ptf3-tmp\e100b325.cat

yes yes to all no no to all or cancel.

I have tried all options now with the same results. The client reboots and goes back to the same screen. I cannot go any further

Please help

I had exactly the same problem when installing an image onto a GX270 desktop - its due to the setup.exe (or whatever the .exe that comes with the driver is called) being in the $oem$\$1\Drivers\Nic folder, and the I386 folder on your RIS image, once you remove that file from those two locations it seems to work fine.

I'm still having problems with this and it's driving me crazy. I can get RIS to work for the base install - it picks up the broadcom drivers no problem. I then fully configure one of the laptops and run riprep to put the image back onto the server, but when I try to then RIS that image onto the next laptop, I get the following 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 system administrator. Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit"

I've tried everything suggested here - i've edited the b57xp32.inf to remove the nt references at the start, i've copied the driver files to every possible driver location in the RIS images (both the flat image and the full RIS images), i've edited the driver paths in riprep.sif to echo the structure of the driver directory and every time I try again, I make sure to restart the RIS Service and the Background intelligent transfer service. I'm going crazy - can anyone help??? PLEASE!!!!!!!

What b57xp32.inf  file??????????????????  All I can find is b57win32.inf     I tried the above with that file and it still bombs.

strange as it should work, if you base ris image is fine, as that is what the riprep image uses for the first stage of the image installation.   Have you tried deleting all the .pnf files and then restarting the binlsvc service as its possible one of those files has became corrupted. let me know how you get on.
