A few notes from my mistakes, mostly caused by late nights:<br /><br />1) I had to only tar, and not tar/gzip the configs to get the archive xtract command to work for me. Otherwise, it gave me a checksum error every time.<br /><br />2) Don't create the scripts and ftp them to the sniffers or else windows formatting will destroy it.

This just means we have to tweak the auto load config script a little bit and one Linux VM should be able to do the trick. Thanks for the comment.

I have that fixed now.I am 99% done.<br />The only problem I seem to be having now is with the script auto loading all the initial configs to the routers. The script seems to also remove the IPv4 and IPv6 address due to the removal of VLAN encapsulation. As a result, my sub-interfaces have no IP addresses, only the loopback and tunnel interfaces do.

Maybe you can do "copy /verify tftp://IPADDRESS/ine.tar bootflash:ine.tar" and make sure it transfers correctly to the routers. Also does the ine.tar open up regularly on your windows or linux machine?
