Windows OS Deployment Does Not Work When OS Chooser Directory Name and RIS Server Language Are Different (6400419)

The RIS server assumes that you have files in a language path that is the same as the RIS server's OS language. To provision a Windows OS that is not the same as the RIS server's OS language, you need to do some additional configuration.

Workaround: To configure an English RIS server to deploy a non-English Windows image, copy the other language's files to the English path by performing the following procedure.

1. Go to the directory in which the OS Chooser files are located.

   For example:

   % cd RemoteInstall\OSChooser

2. Copy the files from the language directory to an English directory.

   For example:

   % copy -r Japanese English

This procedure creates a directory RemoteInstall\OSChooser\English that contains the install screens in the native language. When the RIS software checks the default English path, it will display the non-English OS Chooser screens during install.

To configure a non- English RIS server to deploy an English Windows image, type:

% copy -r English language
