(A:\SETUP.EXE) to make sure your connection with the network is correct.
Setup Procedure for DOS
-----------------------
1. The BOOTROM installation procedures are identical in Windows NT Server 3.5,
3.51, 4.0. First, install the Remoteboot Service on the NT Server:
Choose "Control Panel\Network\Add Software" and select "Remoteboot
Service", follow the screen instruction to install.
2. Use "File Manager" in NT Server 3.5, 3.51 or "Windows Explorer" in NT
Server 4.0 to share the following directory:
\windows\rpl\rpl\rplfiles, suppose \windows is your Windows NT directory.
3. Copy all the MS-DOS 6.22 files as follow:
attrib -s -h -r c:\io.sys
attrib -s -h -r c:\msdos.sys
copy c:\io.sys c:\windows\rpl\rplfiles\binfiles\dos622
copy c:\msdos.sys c:\windows\rpl\rplfiles\binfiles\dos622
copy c:\dos622\*.* c:\windows\rpl\rplfiles\binfiles\dos622
attrib +s +h +r c:\io.sys
attrib +s +h +r c:\msdos.sys
4. Copy the NDIS2 driver for "PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter" as follow:
copy a:\bootrom\fetnd.dos c:\windows\rpl\bblock\ndis
md c:\windows\rpl\bblock\netbeui\fetnd
copy a:\bootrom\fetnd.cnf c:\windows\rpl\bblock\netbeui\fetnd
copy a:\bootrom\protocol.ini c:\windows\rpl\bblock\netbeui\fetnd
5. Run RPLCMD to add a bblock record for the adapter as follow:
net start remoteboot ;run in MSDOS prompt
rplcmd ;Follow the example below to enter data
Adapter Boot Config Profile Service Vendor Wksta [Quit] V
Add Del Enum: A
VendorName=xxxxxx ;upper 6 digits of your adapter's ethernet ID
VendorComment=xx...x ;type your vendor string. optional.

6. Run "Control Panel\Services", select "Remoteboot Service" and change the
"Startup" option to "Automatic". Now reboot NT Server, remoteboot service
will be started automatically.
7. Run "Remoteboot Manager" from "Administrative Tools"
a. Choose "Remoteboot\New Profile.." to create a Profile Name according to
the DOS 6.22 FETND configuration.
b. Choose "Remoteboot\New Workstation.." to create a Workstation Name
according to the profile name and your Adapter Ethernet ID.
8. Now the remoteboot server is ready, boot your workstation with "BOOTROM
plug in PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter", then you can access the NT Server from
your workstation.
Setup Procedure for Windows 95
------------------------------
1.Installing SBS for Windows 95 Clients
(1) On the server that will contain SBS files, create a shared directory
with 90 MB of space available. The shared directory can have any name.
(for example, \\server direcotry\sharedir as \\NT4S\SBS).
(2) As you share the directory, assign read-only permission for regular users
and full access for administrators.
(3) Install one regular Windows 95 client on the network or use an existing
one. You will use this client to configure the SBS server.
(4) Log on to the Windows 95 client using an account that has wirte access to
the shared directory on the SBS server.
(5) Make sure you use Windows 95 UPGRADE Version(CD-Title "Add-ons for Windows 95",
MSDN,April,1999,in direcotory \WIN95\RETAIL\UPGRADE). Put the Windows 95
compact disc in the client CD-ROM dirve. In Windows Explorer, switch to the
Admin\Nettools\netsetup directory.
(6) Double-click Netsetup.exe
(7) In the Server-Based Setup dialog box, click Set Path, and specify the path
to the SBS server; then click OK, A network name for a server (for example,
\\server1\sharedir as \\NT4S\SBS).
(8) Click Install
a. Set the source path for Windows 95 files.
b. This is the path to the compact disc on the client.
c. If asked, specify that you do not want to create a default setup script.
d. Provide a CD Key number for product identification.
e. If you support only remoteboot clients, click Server.
f. If you support other SBS functions as well, click User choice.
g. Do not click Local hard drive.
h. Server-Based Setup copies Windows 95 files to the SBS shared directory.
(9) Copy driver file fetnd3.sys from diskette to shared directory on SBS server.
For example:
copy a:\bootrom\fetnd3.sys \\NT4S\system
(10) At the remoteboot server, put the compact disc containing the Windows NT
remoteboot for Windows 95 files into a drive. Run win95srv.bat to update
the Windows 95 files for remotebooting.
For example:
E:
cd \client\rpl\update
win95srv.bat <dest>
<dest> is the shared directory on the SBS server as \\NT4S\SBS
(11) At the remoteboot server, start Remoteboot Manager.
(12) On the Configure Menu, click Check Configuration to activate the new
configurations.
2. Installing the First Windows 95 Client
(1) Installing the first Windows 95 client requires booting that client first
to MS-DOS 6.2.x (Refer the section "Setup up procedure for DOS").
(2) Machines directories can reside on the remoteboot server.
Mkdir c:\rplmachines
Net share machines=c:\rplmachines
(3) Use the net logon command to log on using an account that has read access
to the SBS server and write access to the shared directory that will contain
this client machine directory.
(4) Synchronize the time and date settings of the client, the SBS server, and
the remoteboot server. Differing settings can interfere with Windows 95 Setup.
(5) Use the net use command to map driver letters to the SBS server and machine
directory location, and then determine the highest drive letter in use on the
computer.
For example, if you have a local hard drive with one partition, C: will be
mapped to the remoteboot server, D: will be the local hard drive, E: is
reserved for use as a RAM drive, and F: and higher are available for use.
You would type:
net use f: \\sbs_server\win95_share as net use I: \\NT4S\SBS
net use j: \\mach_server\mach_share as net use j: \\NT4S\Machines
(6) Change to the drive letter mapped to the SBS directory.
(7) Run the Windows 95 Setup program by typing:
setup /t:temppath as follows:
setup /t:j:\client1.tmp
a. In the Server-based Setup dialog box, click Setup Windows to run from a
network server.
b. In the Startup method dialog box, click Start Windows form the network
(remote boot server).
c. In the machine Directory dialog box, when asked where to install
Windows 95, type the path of the machine directory (using the drive
letter specified in Step 4, for example, J:\client1).
d. In the Setup Options dialog box, click Custom setup.
In the Analyzing You Computer dialog box, click No, I want to modify the
hardware lst.
e. Exculde as many hardware types and items form autodetection as possible.
If autodetection crashes, run Setup again and exclude more items form
autodetection. One problem could be that your network adapter is on IRQ2
or IRQ3; this conficks with serial port detection with some network
adapters.
f. In the Select Components dialog box, click to clear the Communications
check box (unless the client has a modem and you intend to use dial-up
networking).
g. In the Network Configuration dialog box, check that your network adapter
and desired.
h. If there are no network adapters shown, you must add and configure your
network adapter.(Note: Make sure your adapter driver is for boot rom,
not for Windows 95).
i. In the Identification dialog box, make sure that the workgroup for this
client is the same as the workgroup or domain of the SBS server and
machine directory server.
j. When the Windows 95 Setup program is done, reboot the client. The client
will not yet boot to Windows 95; however you must complete more steps
first.
3. Create a profile for the Windows 95 client
At the remoteboot server (or a client running Remoteboot manager focused on the
remoteboot, start Remoteboot manager)
(1) Boot the client to MS-DOS 6.2x to confirm that the MS-DOS configuration is
correct. For details, see adding a New Clienttí¿ earlier in this chapter.
(2) In the \\NT4S\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\FETND directory, where adapter is the name of
adapter, copy the fetnd.cnf file to w95nd.cnf
(3) Edit the new w95nd.cnf file to change the following line
EXE BBLOCK\I13.COM ~ ~ ~
to change
EXE BBLOCK\W95I13.COM ~ ~ ~
(4) Use the rplcmd utility to add a boot block record for the new adapter
C:\NT4S\RPL>rplcmd
Adapter Boot Config Profile Service Vendor Wksta [Quit]: B
Add Del Enum: A
BootName=W95V1
VendorName=004063
BbcFile=BBLOCK\NETBEUI\FETND\W95ND.CNF
All other parameters are optional
BootComment=Name of the adapter
WindowSize=0
Adapter Boot Config Profile Service Vendor Wksta[Quit]:C
Add Del Enum: A
ConfigName=Win95V1
BootName=W95V1
DirName=DOS
DirName2=Win95
FitShared=FITS\WIN95.FIT
FitPersonal=FITS\WIN95P.FIT
All other parameters are optional
ConfigComment=Windows 95 <adapter name>
DirName3=
DirName4=
(5) Edit the client workstation record to assign the client to the Widnows 95
profile.
(6) At the remoteboot server run the Rpl\Bin\win95clt.bat program by typing:
cd <systemroot>\rpl\bin
win95clt mach_directory \\rpl_server profile_name
For example:
win95clt \\NT4S\machines\client1 \\NT4S W916
(7) At the SBS server, edit machines.ini file in the SBS directory and add the
following lines for the new client:
[adapter id]
SYSDATPATH=g:\machine_dir
g=\\machine_dir\mach_share
For example, you might add the following lines to machines.ini:
[004064003021]
SYSDATPATH=j:\client1
j=\\NT4S\machines
(8) Reboot the Widnows 95 client.
The client will now boot to Windows 95 and complete the Windows 95 Setup
program.
