How do I move the distribution point for Remote Installation Services?
January 8, 2000
A. To move the distribution point for the Remote Installation Serviceperform the following actions. The destination must still be NTFS and NOT theboot or system partition.
Stop both the trivial FTP and NetPC Boot Service Manager services
C:> net stop binlsvc
C:> net stop tftpdCopy the remoteinstall directory from the current drive to the destination
C:> xcopy :remoteinstall :remoteinstallDelete the old reminst share
C:> net share reminst /dRecreate pointing to the new location
C:> net share reminst=:remoteinstallInvoke the RIS self check mechanism (the wizard will be started, click Next and then Finish)
C:> risetup -checkRestart the services
C:> net start binlsvc
C:> net start tftpd
If you get an error from the client such as 'file not found', changeHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCCSServicesTftpdparamtersDirectory to point to thenew directory (:RemoteInstall)
Installation images stored in locations other than \RemoteInstallSetupImages andreferenced through junction points are not acted upon by the Single InstanceStorage (SIS) groveler agent and may use extra disk space.
