When you create your RIS server on a computer running Windows Server 2003, you also automatically create an initial CD-type image of Wi 17517v218r ndows XP Professional or Windows Server 2003. However, you can also create additional CD-type images. To create a CD-type image of an operating system on a RIS server from which you can build custom distribution share installations, you need to accomplish the following:
Insert a CD of the operating system you want to image in the CD-ROM drive of the master computer.
Locate your RIS server by using the Active Directory extension.
Use the Add button on the Images tab of your RIS server Properties dialog box to run the Remote Installation Services Setup Wizard (Risetup), which locates the operating system source files and creates the directory structure of the image.
Install applications and drivers in your distribution share.
Configure new answer files that create unique operating system installations by using Cmdlines.txt and the entry [GUIRunOnce] unattended.
For more information about designing a Risetup image, including configuring custom answer files, see "Design a Risetup-Based Installation" earlier in this chapter.
