Requirements for RIS Client Computers
!
To support remote installation from a RIS server, client computers must have one of the
following configurations:
■ A configuration meeting the Net PC specification
■ A network adapter card with a PXE-compliant network adapter and basic input/
output system (BIOS) support for starting the computer from PXE
■ A supported network adapter card and a remote installation boot disk
Exam Tip For the exam, remember the three options for enabling a RIS client to boot from
the network and locate a RIS server: Net PC configuration, a PXE-compliant network adapter,
or a supported network adapter card and a remote installation boot disk.
Net PCs
The Net PC is a highly manageable platform with the capability to perform a network
boot, manage upgrades, and prevent users from changing the hardware or operating
system configuration. Additional requirements for the Net PC are as follows:
■ The network adapter must be set as the primary boot device within the system BIOS.
■ The user account that will be used to perform the installation must be assigned the
user right Log On As A Batch Job. For more information on assigning user rights,
see Chapter 16, “Configuring Security Settings and Internet Options.”
Note The Administrator group does not have the right to log on to a batch job by default.
You should create a new group for performing remote installations, assign that group the Log
On As A Batch Job user right, and then add users to that group prior to attempting a remote
installation.
■ Users must be assigned permission to create computer accounts in the domain
they are joining. The domain is specified in the Advanced Settings on the RIS
server.
