Hello all,
First of all my apologies if I'm posting to the wrong news group - it was
the best I could find.
Now for the problem:
We're currently running a small/medium sized network with 3 dc's and a
couple of member servers. From one of the member servers we're running RIS
and it works excellent. Recently however we added a new member server, who
is to take the role of RIS server (once we get it working), but we haven't
been able to figure out why it isn't.
The configuration:
Both servers are set to (through AD) "Respond to client computers requesting
service" and they don't have the "Do not respond to unknow client computers"
checkbox marked.
The debug output of BINLSVC for both servers is (CN differs / obscured a
couple of names) :
[BinlServer] 10/15 14:22:49 [INIT] Initializing ..
[BinlServer] 10/15 14:22:49 [OPTIONS] Client Timeout = 900 seconds
[BinlServer] 10/15 14:22:49 [OPTIONS] Port Number = 4011
[BinlServer] 10/15 14:22:49 [OPTIONS] Scavenger Timeout = 60000 milliseconds
[BinlServer] 10/15 14:22:49 [OPTIONS] SIF File Scavenger Timeout = 24 hours

[BinlServer] 10/15 14:22:49 [OPTIONS] DefaultContainer = CN=XXXXX,OU=Member

[BinlServer] 10/15 14:22:49 [OPTIONS] AnswerRequests = True
[BinlServer] 10/15 14:22:49 [OPTIONS] AnswerOnlyValidClients = False
[BinlServer] 10/15 14:22:49 [OPTIONS] AllowNewClients = True
[BinlServer] 10/15 14:22:49 [OPTIONS] LimitClients = False
Both servers are "authorized servers" in the DHCP and we tried naming and
explicit RIS-server here ("Server options:" 066 Boot Server Host Name & 067
Bootfile) but to no avail.
Both servers have succesfully passed the "Remote Installation Services Setup
Wizard"-check.
Both servers have the necessary services (RIS, Groveller & tftp) running.
The funny thing is that the layout of the two servers is identical as far as
we can see, but only the old one will service requests. When the old server
is running the service clients will get served (and appropriate entries
added in the DHCP-log), but with only new server running nothing happens
(and a peak in the DHCP-log reveals that clients don't even get issued
ip-leases).
Any help would be greatly appreciated (are we missing some AD options).
Thankyou in advance
