Hi John,<br>
Here is a description of Remote Install:<br>
<br>
Overview<br>
<br>
Remote Install is a solution for remotely provisioning and configuring
Dell(tm) PowerEdge(tm) 1655MC systems. Remote Install performs unattended,
simultaneous provisioning and configuration of systems over the network by
leveraging image-based technology.<br>
<br>
The imaging process involves capturing an image from a source system,
creating an image file in a storage location, and then remotely deploying
the image to multiple target systems. Images are managed by an image server,
which is the system running Remote Install. You can manage the imaging
process remotely from an admin console, which is a system running a Web
browser and displaying content served by the image server.<br>
<br>
