Modifying the RIS server

Submitted by Benny Keshet on Thu, 2006-09-21 20:13

Create a PXES directory structure. The exact structure is not that important. The RIS Server TFTP server’s root starts at the RIS server’s root folder.
Ex. We installed our RIS to use D:\RemoteInstall as it’s root.
Folder structure is ‘D:\Remoteinstall’ → this is the TFTP root “\”

\Setup
\OSChooser
\admin

We created a folder \Setup\English\PXEBoot\PXETS – for the pxes boot images and \Setup\English\PXEBoot\BootROMs – for the EPROM boot images (see below).
Remark: The advantage to this folder structure is that it makes it easy to add the same pxe boot images to the regular RIS menu (using F12 network boot) just by adding a .sif file. IMHO it is also tidier.
