I do. But this time it failed utterly. I'm trying to RIS a Dell
Optiplex GX110 with an integrated 3com 3c905, and I've tried
setting the GUID when creating the computer account by
1) 20 0's + MAC address.
2) The number combo stating it's the GUID when PXE-booting the
machine.
3) Different parts of the long GUID from 2).
And none of them work! I've checked the DHCP server too, and this
one seems to work fine...
Are Dell notorious for being hard-RISable???

Everytime I do this, the DHCP gets and serves requests from any
rogue dhcp-client out there. I don't like that, as I only have a
small dhcp-scope for RISing purposes. We otherwise use static IPs.

This is what I used initially. No go. Then I tried Jims getmac
util, to see that the MAC I used is actually the Mac and not
something else. Then I also tried a LRP (Linux Router Project)
"Detective Floppy" and I got the same result as above.
There's something fishy here...
