Prerequisites
The services listed below must be running, and they may be running on different servers:
1.
Domain Name Service (DNS)
2.
Active Directory DHCP
3.
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. You must first format the drive on which RIS is installed using NTFS.
