The scenario

You have been asked to set up a remote installation routine for your company. Your boss wants you to come up with a quick and seamless approach to installing Windows Server. The members servers and domain controllers for the company are Windows 2000 Advanced Server computers.

Your task

You ask the senior network administrator at the company what might be the best way to approach the installation of these 400 computers. He tells you that you should use the Remote Installation Services program in Windows 2000 to automate the installation task. Since he's your senior administrator, you decide he must know what he's talking about.

What is the problem with your senior network administrator's approach, and how would you fix it?
