Remote Installation Service (RIS) down

by

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.

RIS Server to be Upgraded

by

The windows remote installation server (RIS) will be upgraded on Wednesday March 19th at 6:00 a.m.

During the upgrade Windows remote installation, and ris.eecs.berkeley.edu will not be available. Total downtime shouldn’t be more than an hour and RIS service will be available by 7:00 a.m.

With this upgrade Windows remote installation has changed. Upon booting to ris.eecs.berkeley.edu you will have two choices:

1. IDSG ONLY – WDS
2. Remote Installation Services

Windows deployment services (WDS) is still under development and available only to members of the IDSG group. Remote Installation Services will take you to the familiar blue pages and install Windows.

If you accidentally run WDS, just reboot your host, no changes will have been made.

See the [FAQ](/15-faq) for [instructions on using RIS](/15-faq/05-windows_2000/install-ris.html).

Please contact help@eecs if you have any trouble installing Windows from ris.eecs.berkeley.edu.
