Internet Explorer 8.0 is not supported at this time with NS 6 or 7.
However, as IE 8 offers an IE 7 compatibility mode, you may be able to use IE 8 with Notification Server 6.0 by putting the hostname of your NS into the Intranet Sites Security Zone.
Sites in the Intranet Zone are rendered in IE 7 compatibility view by default in IE 8. You can also click the compatibility view icon, located to the right of the address bar, to force IE 8 to render a given site in IE 7 mode.
Please first make a complete backup of the Notification Server before proceeding with the below steps.
If you have only installed .NET 3.5 and .NET 2.0 SP2, use the following steps:
If you have installed .NET 3.5 SP1 (which includes .NET 2.0 SP2 and .NET 3.0 SP2), use the following steps:
After you have reinstalled .NET 3.5 (which includes .NET 2.0 SP1 and .NET 3.0 SP1) please make sure that the Default Web Site in IIS is set to use .NET 2.0.
After the re-installation IIS will prohibit .NET 2.0 usage by default and will result in the following errors:

Allow .NET 2.0 usage in the IIS Web Extensions and reload the console.
HP models starting with the characters t5, gt7, vc4, and the 2533t and 6720t models qualify as a free managed node and do not require any Deployment Server licensing.
Neoware thin clients are not support as free nodes. There are some legacy models of Neoware thin clients that DS will recognize as free.
Hope this helps

To be able to install DS6.9SP1 you need a SQL Server.
For testing, demo only we can use the SQL Express edition. I used SQL Express 2005SP2.
Just installed out of the box with SP2.
Before you start installing the DS you need to enable the TCP IP protocol using the Server Configuration Manager
Second you need to enable the SQL Browser service
Then you need to start the SQL Browser Service
Either reboot the server or restart the SQL Server Service. See above, just right click and restart.
Now you are able the run the DS Setup
As soon as you install the Deployment Agent you also install an automation partition on the C: drive. (C:\Boot)
Client actions (prepare)
Create a directory called Sysprep on the source machine. (c:\sysprep) copy the Support\tools\deploy.cab file from your WindowsXPinstallation disk or service pack to the
c:\sysprep\deploy.cab file on the source computer.
Using VMWare please use the E1000 Nic see KB40812 and use IDE not SCSI (using SCSI the C:\ will not be detected)
Notification server actions
Before starting to create the capture Task you need to enter your license key for windows under Settings, Deployment and Migration, OS Licenses.
No create the task to get the image.
