Is there anything that I configured wrong upon installation of RIS. according to M$ install configs, and my W2k reference books, once RIS is install I go to:

>Administrative Users and computers
>Domain controllers or computers
>right click the RIS server, then click properties

In properties you should see a tab for Remote Install but I dont. Only the default tabs which are General,Operating System,Member of, Location, and Managed by.

I changed the view of the properties and still no Remote Install tab.

I will keep trying, but if anyone could help in the meantime.


thanks
 
I found out why the remote install tab doesnt show up. I used a cd copy of a Windows 2000 server cd. When configuring RIS the microsoft digital signature box pops up a couple of times during the config, saying that this software was not digitally signed the software may not function right blah blah blah. I just said yes when they came up. after the install i didnt see the remote install tab.

Then I blew away the o/s then re-installed 2000 server from an original cd, then did the RIS config then the remote install tab showed up.

strange huh
