Window 2003 RIS Server w/ Optiplex 755 & Intel 82566DM-2 card

Been through about 6 different step-by-step guides to try and get this
combo to work but I still get stopped on the "The operating system
image you selected does not contain the necessary drivers for your
network adapter" message.

Anyone found a combination of drivers to make this work with RIS?

Update: Got a new driver from DELL (support spoke with the engineers).

Apparently the problem is due to the updated drivers containing
multiple languages AND settings for Win2k and WinXP in one file - this
make RIS go boom.

Looks like they've just cut the file down to English only + WinXP
only. And like magic, I'm past the error.

Now I'm onto a BSOD, but hopefully that is more easily solved.

Hi BronzeDoger,

I am having the same problem and Dell are unable to provide the drivers for
me. I have given them the link to the this post but still no joy.

Could you please post the driver somewhere/email it to me in a zip so I can
also have a go?

Thanks in advance.

Hi
It seems I'm in the same state as you. I can install the english version of
XP no matter what I do, but no amount of testing has brought me further than
a BSOD on the Danish version: STOP: 0x0000007E pci.sys
When leaving inf-files as is, the NIC isn't recognized, and no matter what
editing I do in the same inffiles, I end up with a BSOD.
Did you solve youd BSOD problem? How?

Get the latest nic driver from the Intel site. This worked for me.
Just got to get the storage driver working now...

Setting the sata type tp "legacy" avoids the blue screen error when using RIS.
It comes up with "cannot find a hard drive in your machine" otherwise.

Alas! Already tried that, to no avail.
What localized version of XP did you succeed with? Not by any chance the
Danish?

As for the SATA controller, I assume that the standard way of integrating
disk-controller drivers (txtsetup.oem an so on) will work. I personally use a
piece of software (which my company delivers as a part of its IT specialist
service) that is able to integrate a limitless number of drivers.

Make sure the nic drivers are in the base xp image and that they're in the
right places as per the ris structure.
Mine didn't work until I used the driver from the Intel site.
This happened on another Dell Optiplex 520 that had the broadcom chip in it.
It wouldn't play with the driver from the Dell site.

Storage driver - I didn't get chance to try it but if you have just one sata
drive then disable the raid to "legacy" mode and boot from the ris server. I
set the oemsetup.txt and the other .sif lines with the appropriate settings
but I'm not sure if it's this or just disabling the raid that makes it work.
Re-enabling the raid in the bios after the image had been pulled down
doesn't cause problems (I was expecting a blue screen or can't find hard
drive at boot!)
Device manager simply updates and it works.
I didn't get chance to try the storage driver from the Intel site but the
driver on the UK Dell site is "imaging" specific. I got there in the end.

I've read all these posts, I downloaded the driver from the Intel
site, but it was a .exe that ran the setup to install the drivers.
Where can I get the .inf and .sys files that are extracted? I've got
a whole lab of these that needs to go in quickly and we can't get past
the NIC driver part.

Any help is appreciated.
