bbmak Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 (edited) Remote installation service.I think you can tell by the name.Let say you want to format your computer, you can use your server to format it without a cd or dvd. The installation can be fully automated and unattended installation with the softwares that you want. (nlite + ryanvm integrator)You need PXE(network boot) support with your nic.Used for deployment service of client os. it is commonly used in business; however, i used at my home too because i don't like to burn cd or dvd to install new os.

Kees030 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 How do I find out if my nic has PXE support? Searching Internet doesn't return understandable answers. I've been looking after:-3Com 3C905B-TX, 3C905C-TX and Gigabit LOM (3C940);-SiS 900;-Compaq NC3120.Anyone can tell me if these nics offer the necessary support, so I'll be able to use RIS?
