What is the mininal image I can build if I need only network support (no gui and etc.)

You could make it in less than 10 MB depending on drivers that you need.

Also depending on that etc thing you mentioned. What support exactly do you
need to have?

I just want to boot "IBM 300PL" (standard pc,Intel 550MHZ) from remote boot
server and have network support so I'll can
connect TS server by executing mstsc.exe.
When I import the pmq file to Targer Designer, the image is about 4MB, but
when I run dependecy check, the size of the image
is about 100mb. I tried to remove unneeded components but even then I dont
success to have image that smaller that 90mb.

Eyal Inbar.
 
What is the image size that you seek?
1. <10 MB (Kernel mode only)
2. 40-70 MB (Minlogon)

Using TAP is this case is not an option, you can use TAP results to help you
with image creation, but you must manually do the job.
Also you must disable Auto Dependency Resolve, so you can add only
components that are vital to your project.

What shell do you plan to use?
1. No shell kernel mode only.
2. Minlogon.
3. Winlogon (This is probably out of question.)

What programs must work on your remote device this is most important
question, because if your programs must use for instance internet explorer
then you would not have any choice.

eyal inbar,

Having TS services in your image will blow up your image size. My estimate
would be > 64M (if you work hard on removing components and testing the TS).
Basically, from your description, you are looking for something close to
Thin Client template.

Hi

I don't need shell or gui, I think that simple cmd will do the job
I just need that my client will be able to get IP from dhcp and to connect ts by executing mstsc.ex
so I want to build image for thin client
Are there any articles about this subject

Eyal.
 
Hi Eyal,

I just need that my client will be able to get IP from dhcp. This is default
behavior when you have basic network stack.
Add component "DHCP Client Service". Resolving all dependencies in not
necessary for this to work.

Component "Terminal Server Client" looks to me that must have heavy
dependencies that can't be broken easily (if possible at all).

Slobodan
