• Install the RIS component on the RIS server. • Run the RIS Setup Wizard. See Also For detailed descriptions of the concepts, tasks, best practices, and troubleshooting tips for setting up a RIS server, see the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Technical Reference website: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/proddoc/default.mspx. Install RIS You can install RIS either using the Control Panel or through an unattended Setup answer file. To install using Add or Remove Programs, complete the following steps: 1. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel, then double-click Add or Remove Programs and select Add/Remove Windows Components to install the RIS component. 2. Open the RIS Setup Wizard and click Next. The RIS Setup wizard prompts you for information about specific settings used in the RIS installation. The wizard prompts you to do the following: 1. a. Enter the disk drive and directory to install RIS. The disk must be dedicated to the RIS server with a recommended minimum 4 GB of space. 2. b. Select Respond to client computer requesting service. The RIS server begins responding to client computers when the wizard is complete. Select Do not respond to unknown client computers if you want the RIS server to respond only to prestaged client computers in Active Directory. 3. c. Enter the location of the client images. This can be either the Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with SP2 CD or a shared folder on the network that contains the installation files. 4. d. Enter help text that describes the operating system installation choices to users or clients of RIS. Configure RIS After the Remote Installation Services Setup Wizard completes, depending on the settings chosen, the RIS server either services client computers or pauses while you configure advanced settings using the RIS administration settings. The following list describes the available configuration options. • Specify which RIS servers are allowed to run on your network. This option prevents unauthorized (often referred to as rogue) RIS servers, ensuring that only those RIS servers authorized by administrators can service clients. If an attempt is made to start an unauthorized RIS server on the network, it will be shut down automatically and thus unable to service client computers. A RIS server must be authorized before it can service client computers. • Use the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in to set properties on individual RIS servers that control how the server supplies RIS to requesting clients. To access the snap-in go to Start > Programs > Administrative Tools, and then clicking Active Directory Users and Computers. • Use Group Policy to specify which installation options are presented to different groups of users by the Client Installation wizard (CIW). For example, you can choose to allow a group of users access only to the automatic setup option, and restrict access to all other options to administrators. • Use security descriptors or discretionary access control lists (ACLs) to specify which users or group of users can have access to the operating system images available on the RIS server. You can use this method to guide users through the selection of the unattended OS installation 28 Preparing for the installation
