Still using XP? If so, Ghost and sysprep are working pretty well here... Haven't done any vista imaging yet. No plans to roll it...
Archive? I just copy the image files to USB drives and store them... ********************** Charlie Kaiser W2K3 MCSA/MCSE/Security Systems Engineer Essex Credit / Brickwalk 925 274 3183 ********************** -----Original Message----- From: Oliver Marshall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 8:03 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Making images to restore to new hardware Other than Acronis and their pile-o-poo server products, can anyone recommend something that will allow me to make standard images for client builds and then allow me to roll them out to various hardware types? (ie we tend to make a CLIENT_A_MANAGER image and a CLIENT_B_DEV image etc for various client/role combinations and then we need to image them either laptops, desktops, workstations etc). Acronis just errors so often it's not funny. I thought about Ghost but haven't used that for many many years. I'd also like the ability to easily 'archive' the images off to cheap USB disks or something for clients we don't speak to often. Any suggestions ?
