Hi, By default, all the drivers are deployed to the target computer. Then, Windows PE and the target operating system use Plug-and-Play IDs to identify the device drivers needed for the devices on the target computers. Please make sure that you have added the latest driver for your NIC card. Please only add one driver for your NIC card. For example, only add the driver for Windows XP or Windows Vista to the deployment share instead of adding both.

Please also make sure that Your NIC card has already been installed on your clients. If the issue persists, you may try the DRIVERPATHS method to install the driver or install the driver as an application (obtain a.exe driver file). Hope it helps. Tim Quan - MSFT.

• Adjust the response speed of one PXE server or the other. Network latency and server horsepower will impact how fast the servers respond. In fact, at Microsoft it used to be that the servers used by Microsoft IT were so good that even if the PXE server was in your office, the corporate servers would sometimes win. In this case, you just set your local PXE server to have no timeout at all—for your prestaged clients. • Prestage the clients.

This is very important if you are manipulating your PXE server to respond ahead of other corporate IT servers. License Plate Search Barbados. By prestaging your clients, you allow Active Directory® to tell WDS or RIS that yes, in fact, 'I am your mother.'

Note that the use of the SMBIOS GUID is far preferred as the unique identifier for your systems in Active Directory—but if an SMBIOS GUID is not implemented in the systems (more likely in relatively older hardware), you can (and will have to) use a GUID based on the MAC address. For more information, see the 'Prestaging Clients' sidebar. • Don't allow PXE communications to cross switches or routers; put a PXE server on each side. This has the downside of being both expensive to implement and expensive to maintain (each server must have its own image maintained). I inherited RIS after Windows 2000 had shipped. Time hadn't been kind to Windows 2000 as far as RIS was concerned—and testing, performance, and other constraints led to RIS for Windows Server 2000 being used solely for Windows 2000 Professional deployment. The server products, unfortunately, couldn't be deployed via RIS.

Windows 2000 was only available for x86 machines, so it proved to be a good test bed for RIS since it involved one product on one architecture. RIS included (and required) complete integration with Active Directory, integrated well into the Microsoft DHCP server, and included its own TFTPD.

RIS had some fundamental limitations that became apparent, however. The first was the lack of support for server deployment.

Certain exploits, such as Code Red and Sasser, combined with the IT complexities that several key customers experienced recovering directly from the September 11th tragedy in 2001, led us to actually fast-track a solution for existing Windows 2000 RIS servers to allow for Windows Server deployment. This was something we had been working on for Windows Server 2003 but had not formally released. Operating System RIS (Windows 2000) RIS (Windows Server 2003)** WDS (Windows Server 2003)**** WDS (Windows Server 2008) Windows 2000 Pro X X X X Windows 2000 Server * X X X Windows XP Pro X (x86 and IA64)*** X X Windows Server 2003 X (x86 and IA64)*** X X Windows Vista X X Windows Server 2008 X X * and added support for Windows 2000 Server via RIS. ** WDS Legacy and Mixed mode support this same matrix for legacy installs. ***Windows Server 2003 SP1 added support for x64-based systems.
