So I built a RIS server on a dedicated Windows 2003 server on my domain. &nbsp;I have all the requirements in place and have, from a client machine, used the RiPrep.exe wizard to upload an image. &nbsp;When I boot up another client using PXE, everything goes smoothly, it sees the RIS server, gets an IP address, and I login using my domain admin account. At this point though, it simply tries to begin installing the default vanila XP image, and then fails saying that the NIC drivers for this machine are not found on the image. I'm wondering where/how I can choose from whatever images I have on the server. &nbsp;Do they need to be in a certain folder to be able to be seen from the client or something? &nbsp;Thanks in advance.

Can't see where to choose from images from RIS client

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

Microsoft applications include a variety of software programs, including development and digital authoring programs (Expression and Media Center), educational programs, Internet software, including Essentials, Skype and the Live family, anti-virus, productivity applications and suites like Office, Excel, Word, Outlook, Access and PowerPoint, video games and server applications such as Exchange, SharePoint, IIS and Virtual Server.

Microsoft Applications

An application server is a software framework that provides both facilities to create applications and a server environment to run them. Most application server frameworks contain a comprehensive service layer model, acting as a set of components accessible to the software developer through an API defined by the platform itself. For Web applications, these components are usually performed in the same running environment as their web server(s), and their main job is to support the construction of dynamic pages. However, many application servers target much more than just Web page generation: they implement services like clustering, fail-over, and load-balancing.
