    How do I tell if my network card is PXE compliant

    I am studying Remote Installation Services for Win 2000 the book mentions if you have PXE compliant computers just boot to the RIS Server if not you need to make PXE boot disks now how do I tell if I have PXE compliant network card or computer?

    you need to check with the manufacturer. Honestly, RIS is really really slow for deploying an OS, even if you have a GB network. It would be better to use sysprep to create a base image and create an installation cd.

    I second Midknytes opinion. We tried RIS and gave up. We use Sysprep and make images. We redo our image each time a new patch comes out that we feel should be installed.

    In my computer, I can tell if I have a PXE NIC because the BIOS will give me the boot option in my boot order. A while ago in our school computers, we had Intel NIC's that said "press F12 to boot from network" during post.
