[ris] Tips for beginners

[Zoom7000]

We're running Windows Server 2003 R2 x86 (SP2) and was wondering if anyone has managed to get Windows XP x64 images working with RIS?

 

How can you get the RIS server to recognise the x64 image? When I put the RISTNDRD.sif file in the AMD64 folder it doesn't recognise the image and when I put it in the i386 folder it complains it can't find txtsetup.sif.

Looking up RIS stuff all over the internet and thought this link might be handy for people...

Now that our RIS server is working fine and builds machines I'm looking at getting the machines to join the correct security groups as part of the build.

 

Is this possible through the ristndrd.sif file?

 

I've googled but cannot find anything. WOndered if you guys had done it.
