How do I create a new Remote Installation Service image?

Create a 2000 Professional installation with applications installed. Both the system and boot partition must be the same partition, e.g C:

Logon to the machine as an Administrator

Run the RIPrep image from the RIS server (Start - Run - \REMINSTAdmini386riprep.exe), e.g \titanicREMINSTAdminI386riprep.exe

Click Next at the welcome dialog
Click here to view image

Enter the server name of the RIS server. Click Next

Enter a folder name for the new install, e.g. 2000andapps. Click Next

Enter a friendly description and help text. Click Next

Any running applications will be displayed and you will be asked to stop them. Click Next after stopping them

A summary of the remote installation server and folder name will be displayed. Click Next

A screen explaining the next step will be shown. Click Next to begin the image preparation

The program will verify the Windows version, check the partitions are OK and then copy files to the RIS server, this may take some time

The machine will then shutdown and you may reboot and use as normal
