Network card & IP address
Currently I have 2 NICs installed in my server (Chicago), I have configured 
 
one NIC for local network IP address (10.90.10.x) and the other one with 
 
backup IP address (172.10.10.x). 
 
From the command prompt in Chicago server, I can ping to both IP addresses 
 
without any problems. However, when I ping to the server hostname - Chicago, 
 
it will reply with backup IP (172.10.10.x) instead of network IP 
 
(10.90.10.x). Even I created the new entry "Chicago  10.90.10.x" in local

RIS cannot create computer in different OUs
Hi! 
 
We have a problem.... 
 
We want to control where the computer accounts are generated so we ask 
 
for 
 
this and store it in the MACHINEOU attribute, the Directory Services 
 
path, 
 
that is. When this information is submitted (in the CUSTOM.OSC file), 
 
the 
 
RIS server responds: 
 
The server SERVERNAME cannot convert the information provided !!! 
 
(error 
 
00004e47) 
 
Anyone has a solution?

RIS
Will be deploying about 50 copies of XP Pro.  Using 2003 Std as Domain 
 
controller for RIS.  I have about 50 individual OEM copies of the xp 
 
software each with unique keys. 
 
How do I use RIS to maintain unique keys on 50 different machines and then 
 
go about Activating with MS? 
 
Also, what if I must redploy a messed up users desktop with RIS and I have 
 
already activated a particular copy,  what then? 
 
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sysprep.inf with Multiple Displays

How do you re add computer to win2000 domain after server rebuilt?
We have rebuilt our 2000 server and are having problems with security and re 
 
adding the workstation back onto the domain. Is there a command prompt that I 
 
can run to do this? 
 
adding a pc to a workgroup and then back onto the domain doesn't work.

New RIS Server
Hi group ! 
 
Hi am in the process of shuting down my old win2000 server 
 
(running RIS) and power on my new win2003 box. 
 
I successfully migrated AD and all the stuff, but I don't know how 
 
to move my RIS installation. 
 
I copied my installation image and my osc files to the new server, 
 
but when I run risetup, the wizard asks me for a windows

I don't want to do this though, I just want to use my old image !

Which DHCP..
Hi, 
 
A friend of mine has got problems with his RIS setup.  Some time ago their 
 
network management was transferred from local to a centralized domain, and 
 
from that moment his workstations requesting network boot DHCP times out 
 
because they apparently never find theRIS server. 
 
Does it exist a config file or any possibility to specify which IP address 
 
the clients must connect to to find the RIS images..? 
 
Thanks for hints on how to solve this problem ;-) 
 
best regards

IE Trusted Sites empty after unattended install
I have a problem where Dell servers (PE 1750 and 1950 so far) complete 
 
an automated Windows Server 2003 SP1 Standard build without any entries 
 
in the IE trusted sites while VMware servers have it populated 
 
correctly. 
 
They are both using the same answer file but I am guessing some driver 
 
that Dell is loading is deleting these values. 
 
I notice this on first startup when trying to run WindowsUpdate.  Since 
 
this web site is not on the list, it doesn't run correctly.

How To Pick Winning Stocks
To pick winning stocks, you need the tools to separate 
 
the companies with superior sales and profit growth from 
 
the ones who are just making a lot of noise. Besides 
 
choosing the right companies to invest in, you must 
 
learn how to read the market's trend so that your timing 
 
is right. 
 
And picking the next big winner based on the news is not 
 
as likely as picking the next big loser. The news media's
