RIS/WDS Tools Maintenance And Troubleshooting Features

[lsheldon]

Please help

We run WDS Native,

We deploy XP As legacy images.

 

I know that in the options on the client after F12 you can select Maintenance And Troubleshooting, microsoft say you can add tools to here like BIOS flash, Anti-virus scanning and memory scanning etc.

 

This would really be usefull on our network if only i knew how to add these tools and set them up especiallythe bios flash, due to a known fault some motherboards we have.

 

I have looked everywhere on the internet but to on avail, Does anyone know how this can be done your help would be greatly appreciated.

3Com used to have a RIS menu editor freely avaible.

It was discontinued and emBoot released it.

emBoot were subsequently taken over by DoubleTake and pulled it

 

It's the only one I've seen (free)

A lot of those tools were only avalible for RIS as the new WDS stuff only runs WIM images which only includes window pe at this point as the bootable wim standard is not overly open.
