Configuring a PXE Server
under Microsoft RIS
Prerequisites
The services listed below must be running, and they may be
running on different servers:
1. Domain Name Service (DNS)
2. Active Directory
3. DHCP
4. Remote Installation Services (RIS) on Microsoft Windows
2000 Server
This documentation covers RIS setup, and assumes that servers 1,
2, and 3 (above) are already set up.
The RIS PXE Server must be equipped with two or more hard
drives. Remote Installation Services and Windows 2000 Server
cannot be installed on the same drive; nor will RIS work on a
double partition of Windows 2000 Server. The drive on which
RIS is installed must be first be formatted using NTFS.
