I have setup a mini network with a 2003 server, AD, DNS, DHCP, and RIS. RIS has been fully configured setup, verified and has two images on it.
Image 1 is a CD image of XP slipstreamed with SP1
Image 2 is a ripprepped image of the system Image 1 built.(this is how I know RIS is working).
Now the problem if I go into the Group Policy and set the options for the client, as follows Automatic - enabled, Custom enabled the Client Install wizard doesnt process the custom.osc just runs with the defaults and lets me select the OS image.
If I set the Client Choices to Administrator - disable,Custom - enable, the Client Install Wizard stops and says I may not have permissions to view the options on the server.
Why cant I get the custom.osc to process?

I am loggin in as a domain admin, the files in the remoteinstall directory have been checked to have the correct permissions.
Ive searched MS and Google and cant find out anything. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Bob
 
Answer found!
when setting up the choices in Group Policy I was inadverently using Local Policy instead of Domain Policy. Once I used the correct one everything worked as advertised.
