Windows XP Pro Network Install

[Anna]

We've got a small network consisting of workstations from various vendors
and no DHCP server.

Is it possible to still perform a network install of Windows XP Pro by
copying the install CD to our server?

thx

Depending upon the number of PCs involved and the various drivers etc because
of the unique configurations of each PC it may just be simpler to install it
on each PC; one at a time.

You can copy the Windows XP [Full version or Upgrade] CD onto the server and
attempt to install on each PC in this way. You will need a separate Product
Code for each PC.

Have a look at these sites for more information:
