What's the difference between the Alerter service and the Messenger service in Windows 2003, because the descriptions are pretty similair?

The Messenger service transmits net send command messages and Alerter service messages between clients and servers.

Im trying to get Windows XP to install remotely (RIS) from my server running 2003. When I run the PXE boot from the client, it runs fine until the windows setup stage. Then it tells me that it cant find the network driver??? Any ideas ???

[chilifrei64]

FYI. For future reference, I would start a new thread for new problems. But dont move it now otherwise you would be double posting.

get your network drivers and add them to your boot image on the RIS Server and drop them in the i386 folder and restart the RIS Services

you would be looking for 2 file types here.. .inf, .cat, (maybe .sys) are what makes up your driver.. after you restart the RIS Services it should create a .pnf file for your driver.. the inf is the information on the driver and the .cat is the security catalog that says weather or not it is signed by MS. The .pnf is preconfigured setup information which in the end is what you need for the screen you are getting stuck at to be there.

Just out of curiousity, what network card are you trying to use?

What do I need to do with my ATi video driver install to avoid the ati2mtag error messages in the error log?

[chilifrei64]

have fun with the intel pro 1000. that is a peskey one. Depending on the exact NIC you have you may actually have to edit the inf file. If you do, intel has a pretty good knowledge base on this issue now.

As far as restarting the RIS Services you want to restart the Boot Information Negotiation Layer service
net stop binlsv
net start binlsv

when you do this, the RIS service creates the precompiles setup file for the drivers. If you DONT do this step.. you can add the drivers in any way you want but you will NOT get it to work.

@hoak
My computer has this thing... what do i need to do to stop this..
kinda hard to answer when you have no information regarding my problem

this was not a very specific post you did here. Start a new thread and post all the information regarding your problem. You are more likely to get a good response from a better question.
