Description
============
Due to VIA Networking Rhine-GE Gigabit Ethernet Adapter driver files didn't
bundled in Windows 2000 Professional Compact Disc, thus we need copy driver
files manully to RIS server directory in order to successfully remote-boot
Windows 2000 Professional client.
To Do
=====
1. Copy following driver files for windows 2000 to I386 folder on the RIS
image. It should be RemoteInstall\Setup\Language\Images\Dir_name\i386.
copy getndis.inf RemoteInstall\Setup\Language\Images\Dir_name\i386
copy getnd5b.sys RemoteInstall\Setup\Language\Images\Dir_name\i386
copy getndis.cat RemoteInstall\Setup\Language\Images\Dir_name\i386
2. Create the $oem$ folder at the same level as the \I386 folder of the RIS
image. For example:
RemoteInstall\Setup\language\Images\dir_name\i386
RemoteInstall\Setup\language\Images\dir_name\$oem$\$1\Drivers\Nic
Copy the getndis.inf, getnd5b.sys and getndis.cat to this folder($oem$\$1\Drivers\Nic)
3. Make the following changes to the .sif file to be used for this image installation:
[Unattended]
OemPreinstall = yes
OemPnpDriversPath = Drivers\Nic
NOTE: The default name of the .sif file is
RemoteInstall\Setup\Language\Images\Dir_name\I386\Templates\Ristndrd.sif
NOTE: You can modify the folder name "Drivers\Nic" to other string you want,
but this folder must be in the \$oem$\$1\. And you also changed the entry
OemPnPDriversPath = [The folder name you modified]
4. Stop and restart the BINL service on the RIS server. Type the following lines
at the command prompt, pressing ENTER after each command:
net stop binlsvc
net start binlsvc
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
