You need to install Windows XP Professional on a computer that does not have a CD-ROM drive. The computer has a network card installed in the ISA slot. A RIS bootable floppy disk is used to start the installation however, you are unable to connect to the RIS server. What should you do?
Explanation
Answer - B - If you want to install a copy of Windows XP on a computer that does not have any storage media, you must install a PXE network card.
Key Takeaway: Pre-boot Execution Environment (PXE) is an environment used to boot computers using a network interface, independent of available data storage devices. Remote Installation Services is a Microsoft-supplied server that allows PXE BIOS-enabled computers to remotely execute the boot process. At the time of the boot, the PC that has been set to boot from PXE will issue a BOOTP <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BOOTP> request via the network. Once the request is received, the DHCP Server will supply an IP address <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address> to the machine and the DNS server will point the client computer to the RIS server. The RIS server will issue a disk boot image. Once the OS Chooser environment has been booted, the user must authenticate the Domain Controller <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Controller> and then select a Windows image to install.
