Using Remote Installation Services Inside Out Automating RIS
Using Remote Installation Services Inside Out Automating RIS installations You can associate the operating system image with an answer file (Remboot.sif) to streamline the unattended installation of the operating system to the target computer. You create the answer files used by RIS in Setup Manager as discussed in Chapter 5, Managing Unattended Installations. Customizing RIS You can also configure the RIS server by double-clicking its computer account in Active Directory Users and Computers and then selecting the Remote Install tab, as shown below. The following options are displayed: . Respond To Client Computers Requesting Services This instructs the RIS services to respond to client requests, effectively making the RIS server available to RIS clients on the network. . Do Not Respond To Unknown Client Computers If you select this option, the RIS server will disregard requests from unknown computers (that is, computers without an account in Active Directory). Access to the RIS servers can be restricted using this option only prestaged computers (computers with accounts previously established in Active Directory) can access the RIS server and the OS images it hosts. In addition to the settings in Active Directory that control how the server handles client requests, you can verify the RIS server configuration, gain administrative access to RIS clients using this server, and control management of RIS-installed computers.
