|
| this is a excerpt from ms training kit on network installs "Install a network client. A network client is software that allows the target computer to connect to the distribution server. On a computer without an operating system, you must boot from a client disk that includes a network client that enables the target computer to connect to the distribution server" Can someone give me a better idea on what client disk is and the procedure

| Client disk in this case is the boot disk that able to boot up and also connect to your network. Afer you connect to your network, you can then acess to the distribution folder and then run the setup to install your W2k. I used to generate this kind of disks using NT Server, something called Network adminstrator is there and there is one option to generate this kind of disk. Not sure how to do it in W2k | |

| Ok, Create a remote installation Startup disk by running the Windows 2000 Remote Boot Disk Generator or Rbfg.exe. the Rbfg.exe file is found in the \remoteinstall\Admin\folder onthe RIS Server.
You also need to set the user rights and Permissions as for a Net PC. For more info on Net PC Specifications see http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/netpc.htm | |

| What were talking about here mate is a dos client disk. You use these to connect to a server using netbui and pull the files over to the client and install using an unnattend.
If it is a RIS installation then you would be using the Rbfg.exe disks. You would only be using these disks if the nics were not pxe boot compliant. So I would say it is to do with a dos client disk, otherwise known as a network client disk | |
