at the moment the network i used is a remote boot network using a basic image of windows 95 and the servers are linux, it pulls the image from the server. we need to go to xp by september. we would like to keep the same sort of system. by the image being download by the network. also the test we have done is it is trying to using active directory and we use ldap and would like to use this and not be tried too using active directory.

Well you don't really ask a question but let me tell you that you need active directory for this setup because it incorporates LDAP. Use RIS.
RIS Server requirements:
DNS Server Service
DHCP Server Service
Active Directory
Minimum of 2 GB of disk space. Two hard disk partitions for the Operating System and
for the images. Image partition must be formatted with NTFS. RIS cannot be installed on
the system, boot partition, or on an EFS volume or DFS shared folder.
