Thanks Jason for your reply. Yes, all the steps you say we've done and they work. What doesn't work is when we finally try to install the risetup-ed image into new computers... it is THEN that the computer hangs during installation. Have been able to actually deploy Win XP SP1 thru RIS to new clients?

I was able to recreate and admin share of WinXP, use the update.exe to slip it into the admin share and then ran risetup.exe -add. This lets you add a flat version to your RIS server. Here's the MS link for it http://www.microsoft.com/WindowsXP/pro/downloads/servicepacks/sp1/spdepl oy.a sp Near the bottom of the page is Scenario 1: Installing Windows XP integrated with the service pack Those are the steps I followed to get it to work. Our RIS server is just running the RIS patches NOT SP3 jb -----Original Message----- From: Jim Kenzig [mailto:jimkenz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, September 13, 2002 12:13 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: Forum for Windows XP Pro & Win 2k Server I run a good XP list already Ray no need to mix the two.... 600+ subscribers... http://thethin.net/winxplist.cfm Regards, Jim Kenzig http://thethin.net -----Original Message----- From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Chris McEvoy Sent: Friday, September 13, 2002 11:58 AM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: Forum for Windows XP Pro & Win 2k Server Let's keep it Windows 2000 ...
