XP image for PXE install.

[CharlesW]

I usually use ghost to create and roll out client computers. I want to setup
a windows deployment solution and use the PXE network boot to roll out the
OS to the new computers.

I setup Windows Deployment Server on a Windows2k3 server, and installed
Windows XP and applications on the laptop that I wish to duplicate. Normally
I would run sysprep then create a ghost image at this point.

How do I create an image (I assume WMI file) and copy it over to the server?
When I boot a new laptop & select PXE, will the new laptop detect the WDS
and begin the install?

I tried to sysprep the system and restart with PXE option to create the
image, but the system just goes into windows setup.


Any help is appriciated.

Thanks

you have to use RIPREP. it's located in the REMINSTALL share on your RIS/WDS
server
