Everytime I try to use RIPREP.EXE as directed by all of the manuals I get an error message that a "a CD Based Image doesn't not exist on the server" The message also states that I need to choose a different server or load a CD based image onto the RIS Server in question.

HOW DO I DO THIS?

I've already installed a windows 2000 professional CD copy to the RIS server AND installed the operating system to the client machine via the RIS server.

I am only having this problem when I try to use RIPREP.exe. I am desperate for an answer on this as not one manual in any of the books addresses this situation specifically. Please help!

Thanks

In the AD, RIS must be authorized for that server. Check MMC for that. Make sure your address for the RIS is reqistered in DHCP.

The server must be built. RIS enabled, the Win 2000 Pro CD installed and the service authorized int he AD. Right need to be assigned. Then you should be able to.

It sounds like it is not authorized in AD.
