if u have installed RIS from windows setup cd, then you may be able to start the service "Remote Installation"

You enable it from Active Dir. Policies

See the attached screen shot

Now what to use it for???

Thats an entirely different question, to which I don't have the answer....

I think MS meant for more tools to integrate with this menu, but I have found very little on the internet regarding these functions.

Happy hunting :-)

I use this menu to boot PE images, hardware diagnostic tools, and BIOS upgrade floppies.

Not 2003 specific. Its available through AD pol. in both W2K and W2K3

Nice to hear that you got Bart PE to work from here - I can see how this could be very usefull for admins.
