Hi,


what do you do when your server has no floppy drive... doesnt ARS demand an
ARS diskette?
 
hello,
http://technet2.microsoft.com/windo...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.

Hello,

are you in windows 2003 Service pack 2 (R2 or not) ?
If so, you will go through WDS instead of RIS.
