I am a hardware and networking engineer working with a service provider. I want to configure RIS on Windows XP Pro and install XP on another machine from RIS. Is this possible? If so, how can I do this?

No, you need a dedicated server to install the remote installation services (RIS) service; it cannot be installed on a Windows XP computer.

For more information on the RIS service, consult the following articles:
Absence of device drivers can be problem for RIS clients
