SYMPTOMS
When the Microsoft Windows Millennium System Preparation Tool (Preptool) is used to prepare a hardware independent software image, the Dial-up Adapter device and network settings for the device are removed. The My Network Places desktop icon may also be removed if the system is configured only with a MODEM and no Network Interface Card.



CAUSE
Preptool removes hardware devices from the Device Manager as part of the imaging process. However, Windows Millennium does not redetect non-hardware devices such as the Dial-up adapter.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, add the following sections to the C:\Windows\Msbatch.inf file before you run Preptool:

[Setup]

Network=1

[Network]

Protocols=MSTCP

NetCards=*PNP8386,*PNP8387

[Processor.Addreg]

HKLM,%KEY_INSTALLEDCOMPS%\^RNA,,,&quot;DUN - RNA&quot;

HKLM,%KEY_INSTALLEDCOMPS%\^RNA,IsInstalled,1,01,00,00,00

HKLM,%KEY_INSTALLEDCOMPS%\^RNA,Version,,&quot;3,0,0,0&quot;

HKLM,%KEY_INSTALLEDCOMPS%\^RNA,StubPath,,&quot;rundll rnasetup.dll,installoptionalcomponent rna&quot;

HKLM,%KEY_INSTALLEDCOMPS%\^VPN,,,&quot;DUN - VPN&quot;

HKLM,%KEY_INSTALLEDCOMPS%\^VPN,IsInstalled,1,01,00,00,00

HKLM,%KEY_INSTALLEDCOMPS%\^VPN,Version,,&quot;3,0,0,0&quot;

HKLM,%KEY_INSTALLEDCOMPS%\^VPN,StubPath,,&quot;rundll rnasetup.dll,installoptionalcomponent vpn&quot;

HKLM,&quot;System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\NDIS&quot;,&quot;DeviceVxDs&quot;,,&quot;ndiswmi.sys&quot;

HKLM,&quot;System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\NDIS&quot;,&quot;StaticVxD&quot;,,&quot;ndis.vxd&quot;

[Strings]

KEY_INSTALLEDCOMPS=&quot;SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components&quot;



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
You need to use the following steps if the target systems that receive the image only have a modem installed:
 * 1) Modify the Msbatch.inf file as described in the &quot;Resolution&quot; section.
 * 2) Run Preptool to create the hardware independent software image.
 * 3) After Preptool has finished, start the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
 * 4) Locate the NetSetupFlags value under the following key in the registry:


 * 1) On the Edit menu, click Modify, and then replace the four (4) numeric values with 23 00 00 00 . Click OK.
 * 2) Quit the Registry Editor.

You can now shut down the system and image the hard drive.
