Automated System Recovery on RX8640?

[Steve Errotabere]

I have a customer who is investigating using Microsoft's ASR for OS recovery on the RX8640. Since this server does not come with a floppy drive, does it rule out using ASR since it needs a floppy for backing up config files, or can a USB floppy or Virtual floppy be used for that function? Any other solutions that would be better?

Thanks

You can use ASR with USB floppy drive, DAT tape drive or a hard disk. However ASR is supported with Windows 2003 EE with SP1. So you need to have this CD while performing ASR.
