Starting with this version of Windows Server 2003 with SP2, Remote Installation Services is replaced by Windows Deployment Services. So effectively if the customer upgrades a SP1 RIS server to SP2, then they will be able to use the Windows Deployment Services in legacy mode to retain compatability with RIS. The new service is actually very useful to your customer, because now they can deploy Vista images via this server, however as SP2 is forcing the change gently from RIS to Windows Deployment Services what you will see are three modes for the new service (shown below). Now, the customer should be able to PXE boot their clients as normal to the RIS server and deploy images exactly as they did before. Ask the customer to start the service (they may wish to set it's startup type to 'automatic'. Scroll down to 'Windows Deployment Services server' service, it will NOT be started and it's state is set to 'manual'. 'Could not start Remote Installation Service on local computer.Įrror 127: the specified procedure could not be found.'Īdvise customers to open administrative tools and to click on 'services'. RIS service on the server fails to start with the following error if you try to start it manually. PXE boot failure on the client (no boot filename received error).
'a service failed to start, please check the event viewer for details'. If they didn't know about it what they will see is all PXE boot attempts to their 'RIS' server will FAIL.Įrror on startup of the server immediately (and after every reboot) after installing Service Pack 2, stating Some people may inadvertently upgrade their Windows 2003 sp1 servers to sp2 without reading the relase notes, and if that server was a RIS server (remote installation services via pxe boot) then you may be in for a surprise.Īmonsgt other things ( release notes) Service pack 2 upgrades your RIS server to act as a Windows Deployment Service, however in the process of doing so it effectively renders the 'old' Remote installation SERVICE obsolete (and this explains the cryptic errors below). For those of you that don't know Service Pack 2 is now available (on windows update and as a separate download) for Windows 2003 Server.
