Creating a model os with microsoft office preinstalled using ris

Using a windows 2000 server as dc,dhcp and ris server here I created a model os (windows 2000 in this case) with software such as microsoft office and firefox preinstalled.

Implementing RIS in server 2000 based domain

The primary services works behind the RIS process are


BINL service(boot service) responsible for letting the pxe clients connect to the ris server


TFTPD Service,tftp service daemon which is responsible for copying the files of the os form the ris server to the pxe client


SIS Service,single instance store service which is responsible for making the process efficient by not copying the data multiple time if it exists already


I have one DC running server 2000 and a client.Here I have set up ris ,the basic configurations are given in those videos.

After that you have to install DHCP and RIS on the server and then create a scope,activate the scope,authorise the DHCP server in the domain and need to check out if DHCP is working properly.



Then follow this video to configure ris.

My awesome journey with ubuntu express

A lot of people use linux on virtual machines and uses vmware for that purpose,to be able to copy data between host machine and guest machine vmware tools needed to be installed,here is the process on ubuntu server as well as ubuntu desktop.

In Ubuntu server(I am using ubuntu server 9.10)

log in as root

mkdir /media/CD
sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/CD
tar zxvf /media/cd/VMware-server-2.0.1-156745.x86_64.tar.gz
(After extraction in root's home directory a pl file will be present)
./file.pl

In ubuntu desktop the process is rather simple

Deplying exe files in windows 2000 domain

Here I have deployed winrar as an exe extension software in a domain where windows 2000 advanced server working as a dc and xp as a client.
