Guest Dan DeCoursey Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Hi, what do you do when your server has no floppy drive... doesnt ARS demand an ARS diskette?
Guest Mathieu CHATEAU Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Re: ARS hello, http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/7b4f0436-cc90-4b52-b6ab-064f9db8d2721033.mspx?mfr=true You normally access the ASR state file (Asr.sif) through a local floppy disk drive. If the computer does not have a floppy disk drive, or you want to perform an ASR restore over a network or remotely, you can use a Remote Installation Services (RIS) server to fully automate the ASR process. RIS uses Pre-boot eXecution Environment (PXE) technology to enable client computers without an operating system to boot remotely to a RIS server that performs installation of a supported operating system over a TCP/IP network connection. Consequently, the remote installation client computer must have a PXE-enabled network adapter. -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com "Dan DeCoursey" <DanDeCoursey@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:AFB19767-186E-4BAF-94E0-B6C41DFE47F1@microsoft.com... > Hi, > > > what do you do when your server has no floppy drive... doesnt ARS demand > an > ARS diskette?
