Sunday, March 22, 2009 17:31

Your company has about 100 machines, you now have 1 CD win. Now you must setup the whole system of the company. If normal, you must set the turn on 100 machines. Each machine takes about 1 hour. So you take about 100 hours to complete system installed! If you do not want to use fast way is to buy a 100 disc set and installed at a time! How the first time is how good the second for the 100 disk.

This is MAP RIS SERVER for My Group Project at InfoworldSchool, Its working well, I testing it on WMware.

So that, You can try use My idea… Any solution to this problem?
There are ideas that I use ghost file is available! 100 But if that machine configuration is not the same stars using the ghost? (It’s also a way to create ghost receive all configuration messages but this temporary as we did not know how to create, Su items that will post later). Therefore, Microsoft has integrated the system in a way they are installed or installed via windows remote LAN is also known with the name of RIS (Remote Installation Services).
This way, the Client does not need the CD set because it is set through the network.

RIS methods need 2 components: Server and Client:

Server run services remotely install RIS file and provide settings for Client when requested by the Client. The process of installing the Client is done automatically from search server providing installation, download the file and perform the installation automatically. RIS has the combination of 1 photo of (the source file) of the type of installation (Ghost), plus the installation using the command line. Therefore, this allows installation on multiple hardware configurations vary. The installation using RIS will reduce much effort and time by the administrator, but in return you have to work quite hard because the RIS configuration is quite complex.
Conditions implemented

Server Request to setup RIS:

• Server must be running the operating system for server, for example: Win 2000 or 2003.
• Server install RIS must have 2 different partitions for the partition containing the information and images to another disk partition with the system. Example: C set win, drive D contains the image file. Note that partition install RIS must be formatted according to standard NTFS version 5 back to back.
• Server must be upgraded to Domain.
• Set the DHCP Server.
• Install DNS Service (in fact, once upgraded to the Domain will automatically install DNS service so this step is not needed).
• And …. disk set win.

Client Request:

• Is the network card.
• Supports boot ROM. Here, use of virtual machine should be available to support Boot ROM, from buying
Implementation:
On the Server:
Server upgrade model from Domain to Workgroup.
In the Edit address of network card, edit the DNS server on the server to upgrade the domain to install DNS service.

Program to Start \ Run, then type dcpromo command implemented in turn as in the image:
In general, if new to know everything you are to default to the next stop, only one is to enter the domain name, for example, here I enter d03tha1.com. Any remaining next to the default.

After installation is complete it will ask to restart computer.

Then log on with Administrator account.
Installation Services RIS and DHCP:
Go to Control Panel \ Add Remove Programs \ Add Remove Windows Components \ Select Remote Installation Service. Also set to DHCP in the Networking Service and then to the next set.
Configuring the DHCP service:

Open the configuration on DHCP Server. Create new Scope, scope address ranges that will give Client. Then enter the address ranges need to provide:

When asked dialog configuration Scope Options, you do not select it. This is some additional information such as Default Gateway, Name Server, … Within this article we do not need themselves.

Active Scope:

Note: in the model to the network domain, it must run DHCP Authorize it:

Configuring the RIS service:

Select the path containing the image (must be on NTFS disk formats, and also in many “not on the hard drive contains win server” ie: G: \ RemoteInstall). Select Next.
Check to Respond to client computer (Do not select drilling respond to unknown client). Next

Next select where the intallation files (the i386 folder on the CD window). Next. Select the text description for your image. Next. Finish. Đợi copy it, this step allows the long, about 20 to 30 minutes depending Server server configuration.

Create network boot disk:

1 to no computer operating system communications with RIS Server, Card network server to be installed must be integrated through network boot (PXE), or you use a floppy disk or CD ROM that Boot from the network. You can learn how to create a network boot disk with Symantec Ghost program in http://www.daivycorp.com
or Search on this site

Download CD-Boot.zip ready, unpacking, and CD.

Create network boot floppy disk:

To the directory D: \ RemoteInstall \ Admin \ i386 rbfg.exe run file to create the floppy.

Create answer file to automatically set without waiting for entering parameters. Steps you think of this article “The win dissymmetrical enter the number” that you have post before but in fact quite a bit different.
Support in the win set of the disk, you copy files on Deploy.cab, unpacked and run file setupmgr.exe (next) choose New -> select Remote intallation service (RIS) select window that created image stored on the server . Next -> select fully automated -> I accept … then appear dialog steps has your ring to enter a number:

Finally you save this file named “remboot.sif” folder in D: \ RemoteInstall \ Setup \ English \ Images \ WINDOWS \ i386 \ templates

Assigned to the user can use RIS to install window.
Start \ Programs \ Administrative Tools \ Active Directory Users and Computers
Register at (Organization Unit) name TrongDai (103), which created 2 User name : Dai and Son

Client when installed over the network will ask for username and password of the user, so that User has the right to install remote LAN via the user we must add to the account operators. Right Cick \ Properties \ Member Of tab \ Add \ Advanced … \ Find Now

Click OK. Done the Server.
On the Client:

Bios to edit network boot order on the first or press F12 to boot from the network. In case you do not have boot ROM, you must select the boot from a floppy disk or CD before.

Now just stop waiting! So just 1 CD and not the time set in turn on each machine, you can still install a remote computer through LAN. After installation is complete, the Client does not join the domain but still Workgroup model.
