win2000 Server - Remote Installation Services help please

[bestax1]

hi, we're in the process of installing Remote Installation Services on the server at work (win2000server).

what we want to be able to do is be able to do remote installations for win2000 & winXP.

from what ive been able to find out, win2000 server will support win2000pro remote installs straight from the box. But to do a winXP remote install, a patch needs to be installed to allow winXP remote installs from a win2000 server.

does it sound like ive got the rough idea or am i well off the mark?

if im well off, does anyone know if win2000 server will do remote installs for win2000 & winXP & if not what i need to do to be able to do this.

supposedly win2003 server will do this but our server is 2000 & we havnt the budget at the moment to upgrade it.

thanks a lot for your time

cheers
dan
