From: garytn9988 on 19 Feb 2006 12:30
Environment:

I have an Windows 2003 Server active directory acting as DNS. With a
different acting as the DHCP and RIS server. I created a CDbased Windows XP
Pro image Called "WinXP-Pro" using risetup on the RIS server. All the
security was
applied to allow for the Administrator to add new workstations to the Domain
OU.

After completing the CD based image "WinXP-Pro", it was tested to ensure it
was functional, it was.


Next:
I created a fully configured Windows XP Pro image with SP2 and the latest
patches called "RIS-XP2" using the Riprep.exe utility executed from the fully
functional XP source client. The source image was successfully copied to the
RIS server in the images directory called "RIS-XP2".

After the image was copied. I tested the new image by executing the PXE boot
sequence from the test client. After entering a valid account and password, I
was able to select which image to download. The "RIS-XP2" image was selected
and was successfully downloaded. I was only prompted for the following
information:

Full Name:
ProductID:
ORG:



Problem:
1. Since I wanted to fully automate the "RIS-XP2" image install by not
having to enter the Full Name, ORG & ProductID.

I modified the riprep.sif located under the images\ris-xp2\i386\templates
file using the setupmgr.exe utility.

2. The values for fields Full Name:, ORG:, & ProductID: were entered using
the setupmgr.exe utility and was saved.

3. When testing the install again after making the change to the riprep.sif
for image "RIS-XP2", I now get the following error after the Client Wizard
information screen for the "RIS-XP2" image.

"Inf file txtsetup.sif corrupt or Missing, file status 21
Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit"




Question:

1. Any thoughts on way this is happening?
2. Any thoughts on how to fix this problem without having to re-intiate
another Riprep.exe image of the source?
3. Is using the setupmgr.exe utility the best method to modify the
riprep.sif file?




Thanks for any help in this matter

Gary
