Mark,
I don't think there is anywhere how-to for what you are trying to archive.
Some solutions and similar ideas have been discussed in this NG:

A while ago I've done what you described but I was using RBS (Remote Boot Server), not RIS.
RIS actually just brings more issues in to the deployment scheme for XPe.
One tip.. You don't necessarily need to use SDI2HD tool to deploy your main [post-FBA] XPe image. Even more, SDI2HD is a DOS tool so
you can't use it within an Xpe image. However, you can defnitely use SDIMgr to expand an SDI file.
Or instead, within the Minlogon image you can use various tools like diskpart, format, etc. to prepare the target media and then
just xcopy the image from network share to the local storage. Then you shutdown the device and it is ready.

Hey guys, I want to make a Minlogon Image so I can deploy it Using RIS
(Remote Installation Services) of win2k3 server,then use that minlogon to
deploy an image using SDI2HD. Does anyone have any guides, general rules,
suggestions, web sources other than the MS ones.... Thanks!
