Well what would you like to do???

Just set an unattended 16bit winnt.exe install from a network install using a boot disk/usb boot/PXE?

Or do you require RIS? this can build a PC (16bit mode) or deploy an image (16bit/32bit mode) or deploy winpe/bartpe to the target machine?

All the info is on this forum and some members have done great things with the above methods Start with the unattended guide then read the RIS posts.

Unfortantly you need to know about domains, accounts, sysprep, drivers, unattend.txt etc etc..

We all got to start somewhere so let us know excalty what you need and I am sure someone will help and you be up and running in no time.

A definition of what you are considering a "distribution server" would be helpful. Is this just a file server, or as p4antb0y said a RIS server, or something else?
