How to remote install XPE on target device?

[Guest]

Now, I have installed the Remote Boot Service, DHCP, TFTP on my server. I want to deploy the XPE image to the relevant device hard disk which with PXE bootrom on the Network Card. I don't know what and how to do next step. Who can give me some advise?

Arlin,

You will first need to deploy your image to the HDD directly (xcopy, or any
other method) to run though FBA. Then you will capture the final ("golden")
image and be able to pack it in SDI file to remote deploy with Remote Boot.

Good start here

Btw, I wouldn't use the "remote install" term in conjunction with XPe Remote
Boot. It is a deployment process.

Unfortunately Arlin probably though how to use PXE to copy pre FBA image to
target device.

Arlin:
With default XPe tools there is no straight forward way to do this.
The easiest way for you would be to install XP on first disk partition, and
to use network support from windows.
Or you can use bootable CD with net support.

There are many different approaches described if you can find them.
