For some reason...  Replication stopped functioning for me. I can't get an exact reason why this is happening...  But I had to change the port of where cobbler is listening and now when I do a replicate I get ssh errors.  host verifcation failed...  It wanted askpass installed so I installed an

Windows automated installs are handled by RIS. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb742378.aspx If you could do per-profile or per-system next-server (I don't know if Cobber) then perhaps you could switch individual profiles/systems to point to either your Cobbler host or an appropriately

Hi All, I was also looking at doing similar when Janet brought it up earlier last year, but in my investigation, it seems that Windows install systems (system center etc) really want to use the UUID from the mainboard to track it's installation, with the mac as a secondary less reliable key. (
