Hi,
As my old NT4 Server isn't PXE enabled, I need a RIS boot disk to start it up in the process of a virtual server migration. I'm wondering, as I use ADS to capture an image of this NT4, if I have to install RIS to make the whole thing works or if installing tftp is enough.
Thanks,
Eric.

sorry to barge in on your thread but I was just wondering if DHCP had to be running on a Windows 2003 server or can the DHCP server be running off a netgear router.

If you have the W2K or 2003 CD, extract deploy.cab and look for bootcfg.

I only ever made it work if the DHCP server was the RIS server.
