Although one point to note is the limited chipset support this utility has. I tried this with a Marvel chipset nic and it was no-go. Thanks for the info.

The server roles, RIS (remote installation Server) and WDS (Windows Deployment Server) come as applications with Windows 2003 server. After installing windows you can select them as additional windows components. Depending on the servicepack of the media kit used to install windows server it is either called Remote Installation Service or Windows Deployment Service. Both are the same, when installing RIS it will be automaticly (if it isnt a denied package in WSUS) updated to WDS. Regards, :) Also, to keep me out of harms way (reading the first comment).

It is located in %systemroot%\system32\reminst\rbfg.exe Im not sure this is by default or is due to the option to run WDS in compatibility mode (supporting either the legacy RIS as well as the newer WIM images) Hope this helps Regards, With WDS installed (newer version of RIS) there is still a legacy folder kept in the windows root directory.

Server 2003, with RIS installed, can then support the installation of XP, 2003, 2000, and their variants (and WinPE) via network (PXE) boot, with compliant Active Directory and DHCP support. No need to be rude. The OP's statements are correct. b Tom,

I have several copies of windows xp, and NONE of them include any such filename as mentioned in this article. To what version of windows does this advice apply? This article appears to apply to all versions of XP, as there is no mention as to any versions that it does NOT apply to. I guess this is another case of the blind leading the blind!
