All versions of Windows Server 2003 have DNS server. Purchase your Server produce from a reputable source, such as Dell. You can get standard Server with only 5 cals for cheaper. Enterprise is meant for big business so why would they sell it with less than 25? I am not sure about cost... I believe that AD in 2k3 is a little faster, but I don't know for sure.

Pick yourself up a D-Link DI-608... they are less than $50 and worth every penny. Only firewall you will find for that price that isn't a NAT firewall, but a statefull firewall.

MSC is a Microsoft Console file. MSC files require MMC to run. You would need MMC.exe

Is the NIC card you are using PXE compatable?

"L" was a scam. The company did not exist for real. The "technologies" they offered were not even real. And.. how about this for a monitor... http://www.9xmedia.com/pages-Build_a_syste...p---5over5.html

Edit: sorry, been up too long and posted something that I don't believe to be correct.

In response a PM asking how to connect to the RIS server: To connect the client to the server you simply enable Network Boot (also known as BOOTP or PXE BOOT) and press the corresponding key during boot (right after POST). On most newer PCs this is the F12 key, on some older PCs it's the N key. It should prompt you to press the key. Good luck! Let me know if this helps!

when you speak of an "NT Network" it is assumed you are speaking of a domain, because workgroups are not OS specific.

I think I may hate Drew Carey more than any man alive... I hate him so much I won't so much as watch a second of anything he is in.

Yeah... that's not a problem at all. And not very hard at all. I used to run 5 monitors.

www.emaxhosting.com I use them. Very happy with their service. Check out their website and all of the scripts they offer built into the cpanel.

can you give an example of where you are pulling data from, and what kind of output you desire?

Windows XP Home CAN NOT log into an NT network (without some kind of 3rd party addon) Windows XP Pro allows you access to MMC consoles, which are administrative tools. Pro also allows 10 simotanious connections where as XP Home only 5. XP Pro also offers extended security between users on the same PC. Also, offers multi-processor support, where as Home does not. There are also a LOT of utilities that are not found in Windows XP Home.

Here's a couple posts by me on a couple other sites that might be of use to you. PM me if you have any questions (after thuroughly reading both articles) Later! http://www.osnn.net/forum/archive/index.php/t-36648.html http://bink.nu/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1684 note to mods: If you would prefer I copy and post those posts to this forum please let me know... mean no disrespect.

It gives me terrible headaches, makes me sick to my stomach and many other things. My brother has the same reactions to anything with it in it.

Believe me... those spawned from 5 files I used to use... I got tired of having 5 files, so I combined them This simply places a "placeholder" in the registry at the end of each step and reboots the PC. The next time the file is run it pulls that placeholder from the registry and jumps to that step.

The recovery CD probably doesn't use a Windows unattended installation method. It probably uses a 3rd party utility. You could always call the customer service department and request an OEM CD. Microsoft licensing requires them to provide you with it.

It really isn't as complicated as you might think. Just map out the GOTOs and you will find it's easy.

I don't like linking to other forums, but here goes... http://forum.osnn.net/showthread.php?t=36648 Post by me in November 2003. There is a script there that I used to do exactly what you are wanting to do. Let me know if this helps.

Invision... and I believe it is worth every penny.

gpedit.msc is not part of Windows XP Home. (MSC is an MMC plugin, and MMC is not available on Home edition)
