My organization is planning to do product testing on Vista. We have a Vista ISO image from MSDN, and we are hoping to deploy Vista via remote install service installed on Windows2003 server. But I remember that RIS does not accept a MSDN distribution of Win2000. So my question is, is it still true for Vista?
Thanks!

Can I use a MSDN distribution of Vista for RIS?
I think its best you use Windows Deployment Services which is the successor to RIS.
It provides support for storage, management, and deployment of images. It uses the PXE boot process to install the operating system, including bare-metal installations. -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "harryfu" wrote in message
