RIS Single Subnet

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup_deployment (More info?)

Have some problems with RIS running on a single subnet. This should be
very easy but it give me a big headache. The error I'm getting from
the clients is PXE-E51 which would indicate that it's not getting the
RIS information and I would have to add the DHCP helper but as I
stated above this is a single subnet (switched)
Here is my Configuration:
DHCP on Domain Control
RIS on Member Server Authorized in AD

I also tried installing RIS directly on the DHCP server and client
recieved the same error. The I was able to get the clients to work
once when I connected the RIS/DHCP/Domain controller and clients to a
hub? This would indicate that there is something block RIS broadcast
on the switches but I don't know what it could be?

Thanks
Kevin

Kevin,

I had the same problem. You might try this:

Once you have installed RIS through windows components,
and added your images. The next step is to tell your MS
DHCP service what machine to use for TFTP booting. Do this
by opening the DHCP application and right click on scope
options and select properties. Then you will have to go
down to #66 TFTP Boot Server Name and put a check in that
box and type in the name of your RIS server.
Next you have to configure the RIS Server. You can
accomplish this 2 ways. I prefer to use the ADSI edit
utility, since I can get directly to the setting without
hunting for it.
In ADSI edit open the Domain Controller and look for the
object that has the Remote Installation Services in the
name. Right click on this folder and select properties.
From here you will need to look at 4 settings:

NetBootAllowNewClients ==== set it to TRUE

NetbootAnswerOnlyValidClients === Set it to FALSE (you
can set this to TRUE but you have to Pre-STAGE your
clients in AD if you set to TRUE)

NetbootAnswerRequests === TRUE

Netboot SErver Name : make sure this points to your Server.

My setup was exactly the same. A small network of 5
clients and 1 server. My server is a Win2000 Domain
Controller ,running DHCP, DNS, Active Directory and RIS.

Go to the Microsoft WHITE PAPER on RIS Setup and Usage:

v/deploy/depopt/remoteos.mspx

Hope this helps you.

I had a simlar problem..

If you can get a dhcp address you should not havee to worry about that..

if not then dhcp helper it could be..

my problem was that i testedwith ris and dhcp on the same server once i had
each on a seperate box thats when i had the problem..

found i had to authorise the server in dhcp..

open dhcp console

right click on dhcp and select add server

enter fqdn for server

once thats done i think you then need to

righ click on dhcp again

select manage authorised server

select the new server added and select authorise..

you should be ok..

Cheers,
Andrew
