RDP 2.20 deploy to BL20G3 MSA fails

[Miika T]

I have MSA1000, 2xSAN 2/8 switches and BL20G3 blades, without any local disks, so I boot off from Qlogic hba's. I've created units/lun's with cli on MSA and configured the primary Qlogic hba to boot from MSA. The blades boot ok with PXE to RDP 2.20. From rdp I try to deploy a scripted installation of Windows 2003 standard (Proliant). The blade client accepts the job, and reboots itself via Managed DOS pxe couple of times and end to a state to c:\> prompt on blades DOS c: drive.

If I look the RDP console, I see this:

"F:\lib\bin16\ostdist1.bat: xcopy found no files to copy." Even though w52s is populated with the necessary files.

I am using Win 98 dos files to boot the pxe up. I've managed to deploy the same job on RDP 2.10 on another installation, so I am somewhat clueless, howcome the xcopy fails in the default installation script.

The problem was indeed related to the dos files (xcopy.exe). I replaced the files with Win98 files (not SE), which resolved the issue.
