Lesson 3 Performing Remote Installations
Note This chapter covers installing RIS on a computer running Windows Server 2003. The
method for installing RIS on a computer running Windows 2000 Server is different, but you

can locate RIS servers. Active Directory requires that DNS be used on a network; DNS is
used to locate services in Active Directory. DHCP is also required for RIS because RIS clients
must be able to contact a DHCP server to obtain an IP address so that they can communicate
with other devices on the network.
