New to WDS.. Moving from RIS.. Please Help.

My current deployment method has been RIS. I have 4 images which install

any PC I put on the network. Some have PXE network cards other need the use

of a PXE floppy. It all works great. If there are driver changes I just

change the $OEM$ folders and update the SIF file. Perfect.

 

All of this is running on a single Server AD environment. This server runs

AD, DHCP, DNS, WINS et al.

 

Well now I've updated to SP2 and installed WDS and nothing works. My PXE

boots give me a message about no boot image found and I'm getting a WDServer

error, Event ID 769 and 770 in my event log. I'm very frustrated that what

once worked flawlessly now is useless.

 

Can anyone shed some light on how to use WSD with legacy images? Is there

any white papers that help us migrate from RIS to WDS? Can I create new XP

and 2003 server images under WDS?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
