It's been a while but as I remember, for WinNT 4.0, I used to use the windows network to log in to the server, put the CD-ROM in my workstation, mount that on the server as a network drive, and do the GUI install. This worked with 8.1.4.

Are you talking NT only or install in general?  On unix all you need is a decent X-windows package for your PC (Exceed, ChameleonX, Reflection X?, etc).

I've been here 3 years, installed at least 30 new systems and have never been in any of our computer rooms.

OK, terminal services?

I agree that install is an exception.  It's nearly impossible if you aren't sitting in front of the host.

   This doesn't work for NT machines, and it with Unix you cannot install    8.1.6 without X access.
