RE: Pxes using windows 2000 TFTP & DHCP OR RIS

We use PXES and RIS simultaneously from the same Windows 2003 server.
Our RIS was configured and functional before we added PXES.

 

The configuration was the same with windows 2000, and we have used the
same setup from PXES 0.5 through to 0.8.

 

The PXES files can go with the RIS files in the "\\RISServer\REMINST"
share. 

 

*	The "pxelinux.0" file should go in the root of the share.
*	A "pxes" folder should also go in the root of the share. This
folder should contain a "config" folder, which will contain your conf
files. (eg. the path to your default.conf file will be
\\RISServer\REMINST\pxes\config\default.conf)
*	All the other files should go in the OSChooser\I386 folder
(\\RISServer\REMINST\OSChooser\I386) that should already be part of your
RIS setup. Also in this folder should be your "pxelinux.cfg" folder
which contains the "default" file with the boot options.

 

On the DHCP server (which for us is the same server as the RIS server),
we make IP reservations for each pxes client to which we add the
following two scope options:

 

*	067 Bootfile Name - set to a value of "/pxelinux.0"
*	043 Vendor Specific Info - set to a value of "01 04 00 00 00 00
FF"

 

With this setup, any IP range with those two scope options will use the
RIS server to network boot to PXES, and any IP range without the options
will network boot to RIS like normal.

 

Hope this helps.

Subject: [pxes-devel] Pxes using windows 2000 TFTP & DHCP OR RIS

 

I am using windows 2000 server with Remote Installation Services (RIS).
I want to configure Pxes to use the TFTP provided with windows 2000
server. Does anyone have any idea on how to do that?
