Remote Installation Service Installations
The process of adding OEM Plug and Play drivers to RIS installations involves the same steps that are listed in the “Unattended Setup” section of this article, with two small adjustments:
1. Place 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
\MODEM
\VIDEO
2. Modify the RIS image default template (Ristndrd.sif). In the [Unattended] section, change the OemPreinstall = key value from No to Yes, and then add the OemPnPDriversPath = Driver_Path entries. You can list multiple paths in this key by separating them with a semicolon (;), as follows:
[Unattended]
OemPreinstall = Yes
OemPnPDriversPath = Drivers\NIC;Drivers\Modem;Drivers\Video
Note The %SystemDrive% environment variable string is automatically inserted before each of the listed search paths.
Note If one of the OEM-supplied drivers is for a network card device, the RIS server must have this file available when you boot into text-mode Setup.
For additional information about this process, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
315279 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315279/EN-US/) How to Add a Third-Party OEM Network Adapter to an RIS Installation
3. Stop and then restart the BINL service on the RIS server. To do this, type the following commands at the command prompt, pressing ENTER after each one:
net stop “boot information negotiation layer”
net start “boot information negotiation layer”

———————————–
SOON : Command Scheduling Utility
———————————–
Usage : SOON [\\computername] [delay] [/INTERACTIVE] “command”
or : SOON /D [/L:n] [/R:n] [/I:{ON|OFF}]
delay : the number of seconds from now when the scheduled job should start.
/D : modify Default settings and/or display their current values.
/L : set LocalDelay - default delay for Local jobs - initially 5 seconds.
/R : set RemoteDelay - default delay for Remote jobs - initially 15 seconds.
/I : set InteractiveAlways option - initially OFF.
SOON schedules a job to run in the near future, a number of seconds from now.
SOON closely resembles the AT command because SOON simply runs a suitable AT
command. For a details of the other arguments run “AT /?” without the quotes.
Examples : SOON CMD /C C:\JOBS\BATCH.CMD
SOON 10 CMD /C C:\JOBS\BATCH.CMD
SOON \\SERVER 60 /C \JOBS\BATCH.CMD
SOON \\SERVER /INTERACTIVE CMD /C C:\JOBS\BATCH.CMD
SOON /d /l:2 /r:30 /i:on
Current Settings : InteractiveAlways = OFF
LocalDelay (seconds) = 5
RemoteDelay (seconds) = 15
