Remote Installation Service


Recommended Posts


RIS is fairly simple to setup but you need a number of preconditions including a second partition on the server hosting RIS. You can't install RIS on a server that only has a c: partition.

1. Active Directory. It won't work without it.

2. A Microsoft DHCP server.

3. Choose a member server or the Domain Controller (Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003) and install the Remote Installation Service.

4. Authorize the RIS server if it is not the same machine as the DHCP server.

5. Run risetup from the command line to add your first image.

6. Edit the d:\remoteinstall\setup\english\images\{os folder name]\i386\templates\ristndrd.sif file if you want to customise any settings, such as making it completely unattended.

7. Make sure your clients have a PXE boot ROM NIC or if you use the floppy disk client install disk that your clients have a network card listed in the NIC compatibility list:

3 Com

3c900 (Combo and TP0)

3c900B (Combo, FL, TPC, TP0)

3c905 (T4 and TX)

3c905B (Combo, TX, FX)

AMD

Compaq

Hi Peachy

How do you specify the size of the C drive, for example if I wish to have the C Drive as a "10GB part" and then create a D Drive later with the rest of the disk. I know how to do this using a normal unattended build and FDisk, but how would it work with RIS and Windows 2003. Any help would be wonderful

Regards

Alan
