Re: Remote Boot Windows XPE?

Yes, XPe can boot from an network and load the image to run in RAM. The
tools come with a Remote Boot Service object ot install on Windows 2003
server with DHCP enabled.

The image will have to run on a hard drive first to get past FBA, and then
you can create the final downloadable carrier file. The amount of RAM in the
target must be twice the image size.

I need to boot 32 diskless clients on my test setup into Windows XP/E through
network boot. Is this possible?

I cannot install Windows into any of the 32 x86 clients due to space
contraints but I can have a PXE server available.

Is this possible? What charges ($$$) am I looking at?

Thanks in advance folks
