Thanks Tony. I will try your suggested group policy. I have resolved my NIC errors without fully understanding how yet at this moment.
I have created $oem$\$1\drivers\nic ... beneath directory of \i386. Good news is I have not encountered the mentioned errors anymore since. Bad news is it did not install any of my created drivers stored at $oem$. The process has provided me a complete but a standalone Windows 2000 professional environment only. What have I done wrong? To cheat as a temporary solution, I have completed the remaining setting using RIPPREP. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Woods, Tony G AG:EX Sent: Thursday, 10 January 2002 4:16 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: RIS questions Question 1) Yes, you can. Create a group policy that applies to the users doing the RIS'ing. Go to User Config | Windows Settings | Remote Installation Service and enable the Custom Setup option. This will prompt you for a workstation name after you've logged in. Question 2) At what point are you receiving your error? If you're using RIPrep, it's HAL specific. So if you take an image of a Dell with a 3Com NIC, and the try to paste it onto an IBM with an Intel onboard NIC, it ain't gonna go.

I have 2 difficulties as the following:- 1. May I know if I can & if so how to enforce my company's computer naming convention rather than using RIS wizard ? 2. In my testing, I am using Compaq EVO Pentium 4 as my Windows 2000 professional and RIS server. I constantly receive error as shown from workstation and unable to load my built RIS image from RIS server. The operating system image you selected does not contain the necessary drivers for your network adapter......., etc. Please help....as I am given 2 more days to meet the deadline. Thank you.
