Hi Mark
 
You will have to check that your network card is supported by RIS.

The link above has the details. If not you can create a boot disk.
 
Hope this helps.

Folks,  

 

Being new to RIS and and old hand with Altiris am slightly confused :-(

 

Stopped using altiris due to it's inability to cope with partition size (max 
DOS filesize being 2Gb and altiris running in DOS on the client!) etc. of the 
client and moved to RIS for a Win2K deployment but getting a weird error.  Run 
RIPREP on the client and upload the config to the server, yet after PXE booting 
the client selecting the image it staff's and tells me the selected image does 
not contain a suitable network driver for my PC hardware - all 20 pc's are the 
same, have even tried it on the machine RIPREP was done on ?

 

Any clues or pointers ???

 

 

Mark
