a few questions regarding server 2003, RIS, R2 etc

msmike · 10-24-2006, 01:42 AM

first of all we want do setup a RIS server which i have done but i had to setup a DHCP server on one of the server 2003 OS's so that the PXE NICs would be assigned an IP and find a RIS server. This is great but at this time out firewall is dealing with DHCP. DHCP from the firewall didnt work with the PXE NIC's, how can i go about this, and so that it will pick up a RIS server. am i going to need to change our DHCP to MS?

what is the best way for printers to be mapped to the printers and faxes folder up on logon, depending on what group/dept the user is in. Is R2 the best way?

when making a RIS image, how do you make it join the domain and workstation name automatically? i couldn’t see this option in setup manager. also where do the answer files go once they are made in setup manager, what directory within the ris shared folder?

thanks allot
mike
