RIS

[oddjob62]

But the RIS tab is also displayed on the AD server but only if i manually add the pc or if i have previously installed the PC by RIS

Anyway basically....

I have got my domain controller that works fine and my RI Server which also runs fine. I managed to get a PC to install using the image from the RI Server But i cant see to get it to use the Answere file i created in the setup manager! am i supposed to put the file anywhere perticular or on a floppy disk?

When you say "Setup manager" are you talking about riprep?

no in the deploy.cab file there is a program called setupmgr.exe i think and that lets you create an answere fill for RIS which i have done but when i get a PC to install using the img it doesnt use the answere file so i just wondered what it should be named and where it should be as i cant find any info from microsoft. Thanks

I'm pretty sure those are for unattended installs (from disk or network share). RIS answer files are stored in "\\RIS_server\REMINST\Setup\language\Images\image_name\i386\templates"

im that file it gives me the option to create a RIS answere file, oh sorry i want to make an unattended answere file that PCs can use when installing windows! basically i want to be able to just put the pxe boot disk in and let the pc finish the install itself
