[Pc_Support] I give up, how do you image Windows 2K?

[eflester at myway.com]

You are correct.  That would be a really neat capability.  On our little network g4u is quite acceptable, especially for what it costs, but it would be fantastic to be able to "push" instead of "pull."  

We do have to touch the client box in order to re-image. The way we handle this is that we keep a few extra PCs with fresh images and swap them out whenever we can.

Also, in the interest of accuracy and complete disclosure, the version of Ghost that this org owns is not the appropriate one and does not have the capabilities you describe. So I am no doubt whining about a different thing than you are accustomed to working with.

g4u meets our requirements and comes under the standard BSD license, which saves us money and headaches.  I would be very interested in a similarly licensed method to handle cloning from the server side, and you have inspired me to do some reading, thinking, and research.

Regards,

Eric Lester

> g4u works very well with Windows 2000.G4u looks pretty good, except that I is controlled by the client side,there isn't a server-side management process that can automatically pushvast numbers of deployments easily.  Too bad, that's really theimportant part of managing a Ghost-ified network.-- Damien McKenna - Web Developer - Damien.McKenna at thelimucompany.comThe Limu Company - http://www.thelimucompany.com/ - 407-804-1014#include <stdjoke.h>_______________________________________________Pc_support mailing listPc_support at matrixlist.comhttp://lists.matrixlist.com/mailman/listinfo/pc_support
