Deployment Solution

Does anyone know what commandline is used to launch the boot disk creator from within the PXE manager? I hope this will give me some clues as to where the NIC data is read from.

Why? Because we see a difference between the NICS as defined in the pcidtect.ini and the ones shown in the boot disk creator that we want to fix. I thought the pcidtect.ini file would be the one loaded into bootwiz.exe and thus copied the correct one over all the wrong ones I could find, but the bootwiz still shows me something different. I fear that building a new bootdisk based on the info shown in the wizard will once again overwrite my pcidtect.ini files with wrong data, hence the need to repair this.

Any ideas are most welcome.

Thanks,

Remco,

The bootwiz command line won't help you any further. The list of nics in the boot disk creator is retrieved from the different oemsetup.inf's. For the 6.9 version you can find them in bootwiz\platforms\dos\drivers\microsoft.

Continuing on Peter's line above, any drivers you have added via the "have disk" option will show up in a directory named "custom". We seem always to get hardware before the oemsetup.inf includes the chipset info and have to edit our own. The oemsetup.inf should be in the folder with the driver. It gets used to build the pcidetect.ini file in the \net directory on the boot disk or in the PXE file.
