Hi all,

first, excuse my english, i generally speak french ....

So I have, for my job in a University, to find de best way to deploy and to install windows 2000 professional on many stations of an network (with windows 2000 server on the server). So I search to find how to deploy and install win2kpro on my stations, WITHOUT ANY ACTION ON THE STATIONS, but just by remote with the servers.

First, I try RIS, but it's not for me the best choise, because I have to boot PXE, and the stations requires to press F12 to really boot PXE, so I have already one action ...... and after, RIS requires to type login/pass/domain in the station ... that's not good for my project.

Second, I tryed Ghost but I don't find really good tutorials (in french) to use ghost for a deployment without action on the stations.

So I don't really know if there are others ways to perform what I want to do... could you give me an help ???????

many thanks

Personnaly the best deployment software you can find is Altiris.

It is expensive but personnaly the easiest to deploy hundreds of PC's\servers.

you can give it a try for 30 days, it takes a while to setup, but once done there's not alot it won't do.

tks for the link, I already saw altiris solutions but my chiefs said that's too expensive for the budjet of the university ......

another solution ??
