I have just built another RIS server for our domain and we would like to find a way to change the existing clients to respond to this one. We currently have XP and 2000 images loading computers right now so the fix would have to work for both if there is a difference between the two fix actions. We could go do this by hand if we had the time to do 1400 machines but is there a way to automate this.
 
Do you actually have the GUID for the client assigned to
the first RIS server? If not, all you have to do is
deactivate the first one and bring the second one online
by authorizing it in DHCP.

But knowing how the AF does stuff having worked at the
Offutt NCC for 2.5 years (no longer though) you guys
probably are using the managed client thing using the
GUIDs. If so, after setting up the second RIS server and
authorizing, right click the PC that you want to change.
CLick on the "Remote Install" tab, down in the remote
installation server field click the browse button and
select the new server, click OK. But it looks like you
have to do one at a time. At least you don't have to hop
in the truck and go to every workstation.
