Guest MarcusB Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Hi, We have almost 300 computers at our company. At the beginning when we started we had all computers the same (the same hardware configuration). We was using symantec ghost for computer clonning. We first install all software on one machine and later on we ghost it to all 300 machines. Later on we run Ghostwalk to change name and SID. Now we have newer and older computers and we have to keep seperate ghost images for every batch of the computers. Is there any other solution to clone images to different hardware configuration without need to have so many different images. We run Network with 2 Domain controlers running windows 2003. Where can I find any tutorials about different solutions? Regards Marcus

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Re: Ghosting computers with different hardware Hello MarcusB, Windows deployment service (WDS) in 2003 SP2 or Remote installation service (RIS) in 2003 or in 2003 SP1. RIS is the older version, so better start from scratch with WDS. WDS http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/9e197135-6711-4c20-bfad-fc80fc2151301033.mspx RIS http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/c62e5951-5eb9-42f1-95ae-490e5d7a55511033.mspx?mfr=true Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. ** Please do NOT email, only reply to Newsgroups ** HELP us help YOU!!! http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm > I heard that there is build in, way in windows.
