BINL Server Does Not Respond and Server Not Authorized Error Message Appears

The user attempts to use Remote OS Installation to install Windows 2000 on his or her computer, but no boot information negotiation layer (BINL) server responds to his or her request. An error message appears that indicates that the server is not authorized.

Possible Causes:

The DHCP server is installed but not authorized.

Diagnostic Tests:

Authorize the DHCP server.

Note:

The Event Viewer system log messages originate from the DHCP server, and reports that the service is not authorized. This message can appear on the server with Remote Installation Services even when the DHCP server is not on that server. It still lists the DHCP server as the source of the message.
