I'm operating 3 Windows XP Pro computers on a LAN. Two of these systems are
in a remote location and I am able to start up & shut them down remotely.
One of these remote computers is dual boot system with Windows XP Pro and
Server 2003. Windows XP is the default configuration. If I'm sitting in
front of this computer, I can easily select which OS to boot. However, what
I like to do is control the boot up sequence remotely.
Here is the process I see when I'm sitting in front of the PC is it's easy
to select which OS to boot:
During the boot up, 2 text lines appear on the screen. The first line is
selected by default so if you take no action, it will boot into XP:
Earlier Version of Windows
Microsoft Server 2003
After several seconds a second screen arrears appears:
Windows XP Pro
Microsoft Server 2003
The problem is that I can't control this process remotely. I've tried to
change the boot sequence (remotely) through the System Advance menu but it
seems to have a problem with those screen menus.
Below is a copy of the boot loader.
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows Server 2003"
/NOEXECUTE=OPTOUT /FASTDETECT
Any suggestions greatly appreciated
