IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry. Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the "Restoring the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a Registry Key" Help topic in Regedt32.exe. SUMMARY
The ResponseDelay value for Remote Installation Service (RIS) defaults to 0 seconds when the service is installed. This setting is meant to improve the performance of RIS when Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) and RIS are installed on the same server. MORE INFORMATIONAlthough the default ResponseDelay value of 0 may be appropriate in most situations, you may need to set the value higher in some situations. For example, you may need to increase the value in any of the following situations:
Modifying the ResponseDelay ValueWARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys and Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD). To modify the ResponseDelay setting, change the data value of the ResponseDelay value in the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Binlsvc\ParametersChange this value to 0x7 or higher, depending on your needs and configuration. Also, you should maintain separate DHCP and RIS servers if this value is not 0 and there is a router between the RIS server and one or more clients. Note that clients that have been pre-staged to Active Directory to be serviced by a RIS server do not wait for the ResponseDelay time. In cases in which the client is known (pre-staged), BINL adds its information to the initial DHCP discover request from the client regardless of the ResponseDelay value. Additional query words:
