There has been a malfunction in the software deployment structure. IDSG attempted to establish a deployment directory for ristoo.eecss, serving the Vista OS, then brought the server to production and changed the name to ris.eecs. However, the deployment directory never updated its name. Trying to repair this had the added effect of bringing down the remote installation service for XP, which had been working.
ris.eecs is down and under repair for now, IDSG expects to have it back in service by 04/09/08.
