Removing RIS Server Operating System Images

The Remove option, found on the Images tab of the Advanced Settings property page, only removes the unattended setup answer file (.sif) that is associated with the operating system image.

To completely remove the operating system image from the RIS server, use Windows Explorer to delete the directory and subdirectories containing the image that you want to remove. You can do this from the console of the server or by browsing the Reminst share on the RIS server.

Note

Do not remove the physical operating system image completely until all clients have upgraded to the new version of the operating system. Be sure that you back up the unattended setup answer file (.sif) prior to removing any setup answer files.
