PXE of RIS, ADS, Altiris
Posted by JR on January 8th, 2004


What issues and workarounds do I need to be aware of in order to utilize
RIS, ADS, and possibly Altiris (own PXE) in the same environment? OR will
this even work? ADS and RIS for sure - cover the servers and clients.
Thanks.

Nevermind....

To avoid RIS and ADS conflicting on a network, you must configure both RIS
and ADS to answer the boot requests of only those devices that you want
managed by the respective server. This can be done by selecting the MAC
address of the desired computers or the SMBIOS GUID and adding it to a
record on the computer running the ADS or RIS service. ADS and RIS can be
configured to respond to all PXE booting in the same broadcast domain. If an
administrator configures both services to respond, PXE booting may receive
an ADS boot program instead of a RIS program, or vice versa.
