What's the purpose of have a dedicated deployment network? Are you multicasting your images? _____ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew Wood Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2006 9:25 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Scripting changes to the network binding order I have 2 nics in the server - one on a deployment network, one on the lan. During the installation the deployment card gets bound first - ideally it'd be the LAN card. An additional problem is that I have a java network scanning application. The user uses a web interface to configure the scanning component which configures a profile that is sent to the scanner - the scanner should respond back to the java application. However, if the deployment nic is bound first the communication fails: if the LAN nic is bound first its fine. What I want to do is include in the scripted installation that the binding order be explicit, so that the LAN NIC is bound before the Deployment. The MS KB article says its not possible to script :( - it suggests writing a utility. Thinking on I might be able to look again at the bios settings and check which card is targeted as being the first presented. In the winnt.sif file Adapter2 is the deployment NIC but is getting bound first :? _____ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joe Shonk Sent: 09 May 2006 16:57 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Scripting changes to the network binding order What problems are you experiencing? Perhaps there is an alternate solution to changing the binding order.
