Hi all,

Could anyone recommend me an imaging solution for imaging multiple PC's laptops in a go.

Currently we are using Ghost 2003 DvDs which is grand for single PCs but what I would like to be able to do is 5-10 per go, put them on a sperate network and leave them image over the weekend.

Mimimal fuss. Cost is also a factor.

Thanks
A

Ghost Corporate edition is what you probably want.. . can roll out images to as many PCs as you like (providing they're similar hardware).

partimage is free and works across a network, useing a Live Linux cd you can even remote boot. not exactly minimum fuss, but once it's setup could be grand.

you could try

ghost multicast (corporate version)
altiris (expensive i think)
RIS (built into windows 2000 + 2003)

all will do the job , but RIS is messy and can take some time to get your images right.
