| An easy RIS question for you.
Chunder wants to use a RIS server to install Windows 2000 Professional on 80 computers. To use RIS, what other network services must he install and configure? (Choose all that apply)
A. Active Directory
B. Routing and Remote Access Server (RRAS)
C. DHCP server
D. WINS server
E. Proxy server
F. DNS server
G. Datacenter server
H. Cluster server
I. DFS server
Good luck and see you later for the answer! | |

| AD, DNS and DHCP | |

| chunder doesn't use RIS. he installs ZENworks on his NetWare server and uses ZEN Image Server to distribute the image to the 80 workstations the next time they are booted... oh, wait, this isn't the Novell - CNE forum??? sorry, i bleed RED! 
i need to install AD on my w2k server. at which time i will probably also install DNS since i don't have that installed on my network and i may as well do that when i promote the server to a DC. and who wants to configure IPs manually regardless of whether i want to use RIS or not? so let's put DHCP in the mix also. but what in the world am i going to do with all of these 10Mb Intel ISA cards that don't support PXE? hmmmm. | |

Ya, I know this was an easy one
And the answer is....A,C,F
The three items you need up and operational for RIS are AD, DNS and DHCP. | |

| Actually, to use RIS, you need DNS or WINS and DHCP and AD | |

Really? I've not heard of that before, do you have a link or article reference so I can check this out. 
For exam purposes, it has always been DHCP, DNS, and AD.
Actually, I don't see how WINS could be used in place of DNS for RIS purposes. RIS uses DNS to locate the directory service and client machine accounts. I do not believe WINS can provide directory service information for RIS. | |

| This is a good read if anyone is interested in learning more about RIS.
http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/it/feature/080702.asp
Under Network requirements for RIS, this MSPress article only states DHCP, DNS and AD. It makes no mention of WINS being a viable alternative to DNS. | |

| I can't see how WINS could be a requirement for anything other than you need it when you have legacy clients or legacy apps. In the Microsoft "perfect world", WINS will go away, so it really shouldn't be a requirements of anything 2000 or later-related.  | |

| According to microsofts MOC materials that I have for Pro and Server(2152BC), it says DNS is prefered, but in the absence of DNS, WINS can be used implement RIS. I only speak what I read. | |

Hi jayjay22,
I'm not trying to be difficult but can you tell me what page that is on. I've got the MOC materials as well (2152B) and am looking through Module 15, Implementing Windows 2000 clients, page 24-27, and I can not find any reference to WINS being mentioned at all, let alone as a service that can be used to deploy RIS in the absence of DNS.
Also, if AD is a requirement for RIS, and AD is dependent upon DNS how can WINS be an answer 
Thanks | |

| Reference MS Press, MCSE training kit for exam 70-210. Table 23.2
RIS relies on the directory services based on Active Directory technology in Windows 2000 for locating existing client computers based on Active Directory.
RIS relies on the DNS server for locating both the directory service and client computers.
Perhaps there is some confusion between RIS and installing windows 2000 over the network. RIS is designed for rolling out windows 2000 professional only to remote computers with no OS installed by means of PXE or RBFG compliant NICs,DHCP, AD and DNS. WINS is not involved in this process.
It is possible to install w2k server and professional over the network by mapping a drive on a computer with a w9x or nt system previously installed. This is practiced in chapter 2, lesson 3 of the MS Press guide.
There have been occasion where discrepancies have been found in MOC. It may be worhwhile if the point is highlighted and an MCT brings it to the attention of Microsoft. |
