Do you do the -PNP option? I like that.

Subject: RIS


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?
