Sorry for the late reply!

You'd like to use method 2 when you're NOT using RIS? But what installation would you be using then? A regular CD/DVD installation or would it rather be a sysprep-based image installation?

And without RIS?

I cannot give you the exact instructions on what you should do when using M2 for RIS, since I have yet to add native support for that installation platform. You can check this topic at MSFN.org.

Thanks for this hint, Bâshrat the Sneaky. I will take a look and test for me, but there must be a short explanation what to do if using method 2 and I don`t know the link anymore. Can you give it to me that I can bring M2 to work at first?

If you don't want to do everything manually, then check out RogueSpear's AutoImage - it's developped especially for managing RIS images AND it uses the DriverPack Sound B API, so you can easily slipstream the DriverPacks without further worries.

OK - so I try to make M2 work. Should it run out of the box? My problem is that when IÂ´m using method one I just have to copy the driverpath and the commandline to my Prod.sif and everything is working fine. If I ran M2 the same driverpath appears in the winnt.sif build by BASE.exe. So I copy this path and the commandline to my Prod.sif and installation seems to run fine. Driverpacks are copied... but no WatchDSP.exe or CloseDSP.exe is found and no drivers are installed at the end.

There is only a small mistake of mine but IÂ´m not able to find it. Can you give me an advice or a link to an introduction?

AFAIK, it's better to use method 2 and thus include the full DriverPacks. That way you have to transfer LESS files and LESS data too (method 1: >600 MB, method 2: <300 MB).

Hm - is there any performance plus using a netwok share? Method 1 is now to big (>4096) and IÂ´m not getting Method 2 to work. I will try with a fresh directory.

Well, if you are not using the $OEM$ directory yet AND if you want to use method 1, then that's the best solution. If you want the DriverPacks to be used from a share, method 2 cannot be used so... that'd indeed be the best solution.

And is your $OEM$ distribution directory also on that network share?

Master, IÂ´m using RIS on W2K3-Server with 6.08.6 Base and nearly all the driverpacks.

Which installation platform are you using?

Hi all,

I know Bâshrat the Sneaky is working on it (maybe). Does anyone knows anything about having driverpacks on a networkshare? I know there is a small doku how to do this here in this forum, but maybe someone can give me a hint to a more detailled instruction or knows if Bâshrat the Sneaky is really working on it or when its finished?

Daniel
