Do you see where the PXE clients get an IP, but just no reponse from RIS?
Or do they not even get an IP from the DHCP server?
I know that some of the following might be redundant, but I want to be
thorough.
Fisrt verify the RIS installation using the Active Directory Users and
Computers Snap-in. Select Domain Controllers and get properties of the RIS
server. Click on the Remote Install tab and verify that the "Respond to
client computers requesting service" check box is enabled. Next verify that
the RIS server is "authorized" to perform the BINL function on the network.
To verify and/or "authorize" a server, utilize the network's DHCP Manager
and
select the DHCP root. Next choose Action --> Manage Authorized Servers...
Then verify that the RIS server is member of the authorized servers list.
If
not simply add it via IP address or name. After accomplishing this task
review the RIS server's application log to verify that the following events
are logged. Event 1003 in the Application log and event 1044 in the System
log . These events will help to verify that the BINL fucntion is available
for PXE clients.
If this still doesnt work, there could be a problem in AD because of the
machine's account from before and now. Was the machine acct in AD deleted
and re-created?

Sorry for the confusion.
Our MIS server was originally a Win2K SVR box that was running RIS.
Domain Controllers DC1 and DC2 both run DHCP services and are Win 2K3 Boxes.
I performed a clean installation of Win SVR 2k3 on the MIS server and
configured RIS again. The name and IP address of the server is identical to
when it was a Windows 2000 server. I made sure the MIS server is authorized
in DHCP and I restarted the DHCP services numerous times. I also tried
removing the Default Gateway from the DHCP scope, but that didn't seem to
help either. Lastly, I performed the risetup -check to verify that RIS is
running correctly and that all the services associated with RIS were
functioning.
Even after checking everything I am still not able to boot a client via
PXE. All the clients are the same as they were when I was using Windows
2000 Server for RIS. The RIS boot disk even works with the clients that
have NICs that are supported by the boot disk.
As for the 1003 event the following is all it mentions: The Remote
Installation service successfully read its settings from the directory
service.
