File Not Found error using RIS, HELP!!

[Guest]

Hello all-

We are experiencing the following symptoms, which are
discussed in Microsoft KB article 222177.
That article says to replace three files (ntldr,
Startrom.com & Startrom.n12)
and the problem should go away, but it doesn't.

I have also tried re-installing RIS to no avail.

When a PXE machine boots it connects to the server (Win2K,
same server for both RIS and DHCP)
and reports IP, DHCP and Gateway Addresses... then it
reports:

PXE-T01: File not found
PXE-E3B: TFTP Error - File not Found

The setup and install of RIS was done according to an
article reprinted on Microsoft's site called "Installing
Windows 2000 on Workstations with Remote Installation
Services", an excerpt from the book "Mastering Windows
2000 Server"

I have tried the PXE boot from a couple of different
machines on the network with the same results, so it does
not appear to be workstation-related.

Any ideas? Are there other files that could be missing or corrup
that would cause this error? Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm having the same issue, did you resolve?

I'm having the exact same error, and on the server in the event viewer am getting a warning when the machine connects to the server for PXE under the service binlsvc that "The Remote Installation service encountered an error while attempting to connect to the directory service via the global catalog. The error code is in the record data." If you could help I'd appreciate it greatly!!!!

WDS Windows 2003 SP2 Mixed Mode

To enable WDS to act as RIS did prior to SP2 update do the following:
1) Open WDS Console.
2) Right Click Server name and select Properties.
3) Select the 'Boot' Tab
4) Change the path from: boot\x86\pxeboot.com
to:OSChooser\i386\Startrom.com

Regards,
Phil.
