Configuring and installing LightsOut Restore 16 on client computers

The configuration also creates an entry in the Windows boot menu that you use to boot into the recovery environment.
Note: The LightsOut Restore feature requires a minimum of 1.5 GB of memory on the client computer to run properly.
