Here's my Display section in my RISSTDRD.SIF. It's for a box which does have a 15.4 inch widescreen but it's a compatible resolution. [Display] BitsPerPel = 32 XResolution = 1024 YResolution = 768 VRefresh = 60 AutoConfirm = 1 The autoconfirm string works as expected, but the default resolution still sits at 800x640, not the 1024x768. I just want 1024x768 as the initial default. The native resolution is 1280 x 800 Thanks!

So, can WDS deploy XP or only Vista?

Thanks for the input. I appreciate it!

I started fresh. The new iteration does not present this behavior.

This is resolved. I received better hardware and decided to start fresh. The new iteration does not present this behavior. I do need to review migrating images if there's any bells and whistles. Thanks.

desktop.ini is now opened automatically whenever a user logs into any box which has been RIS'd. These are image folders which were migrated from a previous iteration of RIS in our environment. This behavior did not occur in the last RIS server build. Can someone assist me? I've seen many posts to this scenario but nothing with an answer. Thanks so much!

Great, thanks! So, can WDS deploy XP or only Vista?

can I use my RIS services running on Server 2003 to deploy vista?

This is resolved. Thank you!

Here's the deal: Setup recognized the intel storage driver loaded from USB, but still no drive visible, so I cannot proceed. The file it recognizes is iaahci.inf which is the latest version of the driver. Trivial, I know...any help is greatly appreciated

Can anyone assist me? Thanks everyone

After much trial and no functionality, what 3rd party apps do you recommend? All I am concerned about is automating drivers within the automated installation. The environment I am working in has minimal software that I can add manually after the installation is complete. So, the key here for me is automated driver installation. Thank you much!

After taking an image from another RIS installation environment and placing it into another, NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM are now present in the root directory. Can someone get out and push? Thanks everyone.

I appreciate the reply, but you didn't answer my question. This sub forum is for MS technologies. The article is not adding up. It's all there in black and white, but the results do not appear. I am requesting help with Microsoft Remote Installation, not third party applications. So, can someone assist me in getting this to work? I can be available via IM. sysbuilder

KB Article 314859 states the following: ------------------------------------------ Note that if you choose to format the partition in the NTFS file system during setup, you cannot copy the newer OEM driver into the System32\Drivers folder after text-mode setup finishes. This is because the Windows Setup program formats the partition as NTFS before copying files. To work around this limitation, install Windows into a file allocation table (FAT) partition that is less than 2 GB in size or into a FAT32 partition that is less than 32 GB in size. Doing this allows access by using a startup disk from Microsoft Windows 98 or Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me). After Windows is installed, use the following command to convert the FAT or FAT32 partition to NTFS: convert c: /fs:ntfs ------------------------------------------ i really hope this isnt the case. I can't find this stated anywhere in other MS documentation.. can someone please help.
