Using the Linux Terminal Server (LTSP) with a Windows Server 2003 DHCP
This post is three of 3:
1/ Installing the Linux Terminal Server (LTSP) on a stand alone network
2/ Installing the Linux Terminal Server (LTSP) on an existing network
3/ Using the Linux Terminal Server (LTSP) with a Windows Server 2003 DHCP
The following options need adding to your Microsoft DHCP to get clients to boot from the LTSP Server:
013 Boot File Size
066 Boot Server Host Name
067 Bootfile Name
The boot file size is in 512k blocks so if the image is 14mb this option should be 28.
The boot server host name should be the IP address of the server.
The bootfile name is set to the part required to find the boot file. In our install this is /ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0 - the absolute path to this file on our system is longer though it needed shortening to get the correct network path.
Once the DHCP service has been restarted you should be able to boot thin clients on your network.
Please note these changes need to be made to the local scope of the DHCP.
