RE: [ActiveDir] WinPE and RIS

Title: Message

WinPE is a full 32-Bit command line based OS - meaning that in a nutshell, its XP without a GUI.

 

The upshot is that you no longer need DOS drivers for anything - NIC, CDROM, etc. You can use the same drivers that the final OS will use, which is a HUGE deal because of the increasing lack of support for DOS drivers from NIC vendors.

Subject: [ActiveDir] WinPE and RIS

Hey all,

 

This may not be a question for this group, but I don't know where I can ask this question.

 

My question is:

Why using a RIS for installing WinPE?

Either I don't see why WinPE is used for, or I'm missing something here...
