RIS Issue with Network Drivers

[Byunk24]

I get an error "The operating system image you selected does not contain the necessary drivers for your network adapter. Try selecting a different operating system image. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator."

I have done 246184. I place the \$oem$\$1\Dirvers\Nic folder right after ...\Images\MachineModel

Please help me..

Best Regards,
Brandon

You need to copy the Network drivers to the i386 directory as well. This is where the machine looks for the drivers during the text base portion of the setup. The $oem$ folder is used when Windows begins its plug and play detection.

I had the exact same issue and when I copied the driver files to the i386 directory of the image it worked just fine. My issue was with a intel 10/100 NIC driver. They also had an update for RIS deployments as well.

A good way to tell what drivers you need to copy to that directory is to go to a machine that already has the drivers installed and look at the device under device manager. It will list all the drivers related to that device.

Hope this helps.....

Make sure you follow KB Articles 254078 and 246184 to the letter.

Like DTorres says, if you have an Intel Pro 100/1000 any model, it's considered and OEM driver and you need to follow article 254078.

Both articles are basically the same, but the OEM has to also be copied to the I386 folder as well as the $oem$ folder.
