Recently we have setup a RIS (Remote Installation Server) on Windows 2003 Server. It appears to work most of the time however sometimes we get an Access Denied message.(0000005 or something like that) when trying to do a custom setup. The only fix we can figure out is to reset the computer account in AD. What I don't understand is first why does this occur? If we try to do an Automatic Setup the computer account is not found in Active Directory, so why then is it found when the account is manually added by using the Custom setup? I know that we use a schema change to allow OU's to be created under the Computer and Users folders. But when I move the computer account to the root of the computers folders, it still does not see the account. Is there something we are doing wrong? Reply With Quote

Have you ever tried this with a RIS image? I am trying to minimize the file size on the RIS server and Increase download and install speed. Any Ideas?

Yep, That was it. Thanks!!

I got the unattended portion of the Boot disk to work, however when the machine boots up it cannont find c:\install\mybatchfile.cmd . I search for it and it not on the hard drive. Can anyone help me?
