Try here, it's a great site that tells you how to set up an unattended CD. The same principles apply to 2000. http://unattended.msfn.org/index.htm

P.S. I'm using RIS on Windows 2000.

Do you think a RIS thread would be usefull to keep all RIS related information together?

Opening myself up to ridicule of anybody who actually knows what they are doing, here is my documentation to setup a RIS server from scratch. I am running RIS on 2000 not 2003. Taggs RIS_Server_Documentation.doc

This is what it is used for... Trivial File Transfer Protocol Daemon (TFTPD) This server side TFTP service is responsible for hosting specific file download requests made by the client computer. The TFTPD service is used to download the Client Installation wizard (CIW) and all client dialog boxes contained within the CIW for a given session. Taggs

Trivial File Transfer Protocol Daemon (TFTPD) To start the TFTPD service on the RIS server click Start, point to Programs, then to Administrative Tools, and then click Services. Scroll down the list of services and double click on Trivial File Transfer Protocol Daemon. In the start up type select automatic. If the service is not started at this time, click on the start button. Click OK. Taggs

Hi, can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong or not doing as the case may be! I've been told you can get a RIS installation to ask for a computer name on installation rather than from the .SIF file. I've been into Group Policy Editor\user configuration\windows settings\remote Installation service\choice options\ and setup custom setup to allow. At present the name is automatically crreated from the RIS server. I've tried removing the name from the .SIF file ComputerName=%MACHINENAME% Can anybody point me in the right direction please.

klasika, is the RIS server setup correctly? Have you ever been able to connect to the RIS server? A short check list for a RIS server setup.... DHCP DNS TFTPD Active directory... I would check these services are all running correctly on the server. Taggs

Hi, I'm not sure if this will help but if you run these registry entries on the build (use cmdlines.txt to run an XXXXX.reg file) it should disable the Firewall & security completely. I found that using the .SIF file did not completely disable the firewall.
