Server 2003 RIS not showing available images
We installed RIS on our new DC (Server 2003) and we ran risetup, inserted the XP CD and did our thing. We then used riprep on two PCs in the office and sent their images up to the RIS server. Now, when we try to bring those images back down, RIS will not give us the option of picking one or the other image.
The RIS does issue an IP. It asks for a username and password and has the correct domain name listed, but it then goes right into the OS install. I am use to it prompting me for which image to install.
I restarted binlsvc and I am now rebooting the server. In the mean time, I thought I'd ask here and see.
Any thoughts on why my two images are not showing during the RIS install?
Thanks

If you right click the RIS server in AD do you see the other images available in Properties?

I do. I right click the RIS in AD, go to properties, advanced and images and I see three images (my OEM XP and the other two I put up there).
There is just one server though. IT's my DC and my RIS. When booting the PC, it is issued an IP, prompts me for a username and password and has the correct domain.

OK, it's only doing this on one computer. I have 9 Dell GX270's and three of them worked just fine. It's only one of the GX270's that is giving me grief.

There were some that were able to pull the image list and some that were not. The computers that did not pull an image list were already listed in AD. Once deleted, they pulled an image list like they were suppose to.
Thanks Netman! You really might be a Genius!
