Windows Server 2003 RIS

[[BB] Rick James]

So I made my image from my laptop on my RIS server, but when I try to bring the image down to the laptop to format my PC, I'm getting an error where it states something about my Broadcom NIC not supporting the service. I was under the impression that Broadcom was, or do I need another driver set for this to work?

Anyone here familiar with RIS?

Note, the 2003 Server is on Wireless, but it took the RIS image up so I'm assuming that NIC is supported.

Don't know about RIS on 2003 Server, but it took some edits to get the wired Broadcom going under 2000. Not sure if it's the same problem you're having, but:

Actually I think this might be a Bios issue. I have to enable Onboard Nic/PXE, but I don't have that option in the version of Bios I'm running, and from what I can tell I'm running hte most current revision. Hmmm..

Ah, missed the wireless part. Microsoft's TechNet (under RIS Limitations) says wireless and PXE don't mix.

Yeah, damn! I wonder when that will be incorporated? Love the ease of wireless, but hate it's limitations. Thanks for all the help!!
