we set the new RIS server up, installed the XP disc onto the server then stopped Ris on the old server. Then simply copied all Images excluding the XP image across to the new server and run the service, picked up fine

We used Netgear Prosafe W102 More information below http://www.netgear.com/Products/APsWirelessControllers/AccessPoints/WG102.aspx We have about 15 access points currently sitting in a cupboard!! We moved to a managed wireless system due to joining this laptop scheme...an extra 175 latops wanted to connect!! we found that realistically you can get between 16-19 laptops running off one of these netgear access points.

Yer, the RIS server will need to be an authorised DHCP server. The PXE gets an IP address from the RIS server. Its the quickest way I've fund to re-image an entire a whole ICT room...before it was a ghost server, which did the job. We had problems setting up RIS on a server initially, but realised its best to installed RIS before service pack 2 for Server 2003.

Over the last few weeks we have had a managed 3com system installed. We initially has a few issues with the new wireless system but now works like a dream. We've got a wx2200 managed switch and 53 x AP. From the management console we can view all clients connect, kick clients off, block rogue access points, view AP coverage areas, increase AP power and many more features. We previously has 21 x netgear AP's this worked but loads of corrupt profiles!! The 3com equipment manages the connections so no more dropped connections!!! Wireless from one end to another. Great system!!
