RIS

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup (More info?)

Hi

Can I use RIS to deploy other versions of Windows (Win 98, WinXP) to new
computers? I found that only Windows 2000 can be
deployed via RIS or am I wrong?
Also, can we use SMS 2003 to remotly install Windows (which versions??) to
clients also like RIS?

Thanks in advance
Regards
Miha
