NOTES:
When deploying a RIPrep image through RIS, you might
receive the 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 administrator. Setup cannot
continue. Press any key to exit." This message indicates that the
network card driver for that server cannot be found in the RIS
image.
Some newer HP multi-function cards, such as those found on
ProLiant c-Class blades, require a special driver when deployed
using RIS. For information on how to download the new
drivers, refer to
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Docu
ment.jsp?locale=en_US&objectID=c00793390
. Use the new
drivers to complete the Step 7.
The following Microsoft Knowledge base articles were used as
a reference for the instructions:
•
For information on adding the driver to the RIS image
(

).
•
For information on adding the RIS driver to the RIS
image (
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246184/en-

). Instead of copying the RIS drivers to the i386
folder, copy it to the amd64 folder.
7.
After RIS is properly configured on the head node, continue the RIS installation procedures in the
Modifying a RIS Image section on the Microsoft TechNet website
(
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=64198
).
You can also add other drivers to the RIS image by following these instructions:
a.
Place the network card driver files in the original image folder created when risetup.exe was
executed for the first time. For example: D:\Setup\English\Images\(Image Name)
b.
Place the network card driver files in the amd64 subfolder under the original image folder. For
example: D:\Setup\English\Images\(Image Name)\amd64
c.
Create the following directory and place all network card driver files in it:
...\(Image Name)\$oem$\$1\Drivers\nic
d.
Edit the ristndrd.sif file located in ...\(Image Name)\amd64\templates to include the following
information in the [Unattend] section:
OemPreinstall = yes
OemPnPDriversPath = "Drivers\nic"
DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore
