Re: Remote Boot Windows XPE?

At the risk of correcting Sean I believe that the RBS that comes "in the
box" is compatible with W2K and XP Pro but not W2003 Server. There is an
update that you can download for W2003.

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
