Ok, will the real guru's figure this out.How can I auto install to a folder an rdisk of ea.W2k server in the server room. I know you acn no longer at the cmd prompt type rdisk /s
I am looking to create a batch file that will automate this process. I have searched every where, technet included.It seems that you can only do it on the machine you are on.

As you stated, rdisk is not supported in win2k. It has been replaced with the system state backup in the native ntbackup program. The backup can access other machines on the LAN and back up their system state data as well. All this can also be scheduled to occur at regular intervals, and can be backed up to: floppies, Zips, Jaz and HDDs.

MSFT defines system state data as: the registry, COM+ class registration database and the system boot files. If the machine is a win2k server, additional items are included in the system state data - see online documentation for specifics.
