Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Inside Out Services and Protocols Used by RIS RIS comprises three services running on the RIS server: the Remote Installation service, the Trivial File Transfer Protocol Daemon (TFTPD) service, and the Single Instance Store service. In addition, RIS relies on several other services and protocols. All RIS operations are based on the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite and related services, such as the Domain Name System (DNS) and DHCP, and require the Active Directory directory service for authentication and account management. Following are the services required on the RIS server: . Remote Installation service (BINLSVC) This service manages client requests for RIS, checks computer account configuration and the deployment method, and verifies logon credentials. Startup and shutdown of the Remote Installation service is controlled in the Services console. Configuration is performed by using RIS wizards and settings on the RIS server s computer object in Active Directory, while security is controlled by using Group Policy and NTFS file system permissions. Note The Remote Installation service was called the Boot Information Negotiation Layer (BINL) in earlier versions of the Windows operating system. . TFTPD The Trivial File Transfer Protocol, or TFTP (and the TFTPD service), copies the Client Installation Wizard and other software required to start the installation of an operating system image from the RIS server to the target computer. . Single Instance Store service The Single Instance Store (SIS) service works with RIS to minimize the space used to store multiple operating system images on a single RIS image partition. SIS maintains a single copy of all of the duplicate files used in all of the images on a single partition. SIS monitors the partition used for RIS images and, when duplicate files are detected, replaces the actual file with an NTFS reparse point referencing the location of a copy of that file. To accomplish this, SIS uses a special-purpose NTFS file system filter and a software agent called a groveler, which does the file management. Caution This form of optimizing storage requires that your backup software be SIS- aware, such as the Windows Server 2003 Backup application. Without SIS-aware backup software, restoration could experience errors or fail entirely. The following are the required network services: . DHCP DHCP provides the target computers with an Internet Protocol (IP) address and referral to a RIS server. The PXE specifications extended DHCP to add functionality, allowing PXE systems to locate remote installation servers. Chapter 6 154 Part 2: Windows Server 2003 Installation
