Using the Client Installation Wizard, you can remotely set up client computers if the computer supports remote installation. You can use Group Policy to control the installation options that you offer to users. There are four installation options: Automatic Setup, Custom Setup, Restart a Previous Setup Attempt, and Maintenance and Troubleshooting.
Automatic Setup In Automatic Setup, the default option, Windows 2000 Remote Installation Services, uses unattended installation templates so that you can create options in the categories of operating system images. Using an unattended installation setup answer file, you can create several installation options, select items to be installed, and configure specific client computer options.
Custom Setup Using the Custom Setup option, you can specify the computer name and Active Directory container in which you create the computer account object. This option also makes it possible to set up a computer for individual users within a group and to set up a client computer account in Active Directory before delivery of the computer to the user.
Restart a Previous Setup Attempt This option restarts a previous or failed setup attempt. For example, if installation of the operating system image is started and connectivity to the Remote Installation Service server is interrupted, you can do the following to resume the installation: Restart the client computer; press F12 when prompted for a network service boot; and click Restart a Previous Setup Attempt.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting The Maintenance and Troubleshooting feature gives administrators access to diagnostic utilities and other maintenance tools that are needed to maintain and troubleshoot client computers.
