I have recently setup a RIS server on our network. The first couple of days everything was working great. I was able to create images, download the images to other machines, ect. After a few days the machines that I was putting the image on would get to the "starting windows 2000" screen in text mode but will not go any further. Exact same hardware, bios rev, ect. After fighting with it for a wile I tried to re-image a machine that I had successfully imaged previously and it was now locking up in the same place. After looking at some info on Microsoft's site they recommended not running it on a service pack 2 server. So, I moved the "ris server" to a different machine (fresh install of Windows 2000 server no SP), re-created the images on the server thinking this would resolve the problem. Nope, same issue, I can no longer "install" the images to any machine. I have not been able to find any more info on Microsoft's site. I have tried disabling and removing all non-essential hardware, updating the BIOS on the target machine, all with no avail. I can successfully load 2000 on the target machine using the CD, but I want to use RIS as the identical setup needs to go on quite a few machines.
Anyone run into anything like this? Any ideas? -Ryan N.
