Can I use a MSDN distribution of Vista for RIS? 5/31/2006 11:53

[Guest]

My organization is planning to do product testing on Vista. We have a Vista
ISO image from MSDN, and we are hoping to deploy Vista via Remove Install
Service installed on our Windows2003 server.
But I remember that RIS does not accept a MSDN distribution of Win2000. So my
question is, is it still true for Vista?

Thanks!

I think its best you use Windows Deployment Services which is the successor
to RIS.

It provides support for storage, management, and deployment of images. It
uses the PXE boot process to install the operating system, including
bare-metal installations.

Then it has no limits to MSDN CDs, right?

Thanks!

Shouldn't, but its beta software, so the licensing for MSDN software should
not affect it.
