PXE - Network Boot Services

Part of Microsoft's Automated Deployment Services (ADS) - which is the successor to RIS (though it only does server based deployments).

Network Boot Services (NBS) provides startup control for devices that support the Pre-Boot eXecution Environment (PXE). NBS responds to PXE network boot requests from devices and then directs the devices to boot using the Deployment Agent, the operating system on the hard disk, or a virtual floppy disk. It can also direct devices to ignore the boot request.
