Disk Imaging 2

[dfg029]

I have a client with 45 pcs (a grade school) I would like to reimage these machines at the end of the week reason spyware, inappropriate sites, afterschool programs etc. Any suggestions on a solid software that would help me accomplish this goal?

Norton Ghost will do the trick.Set up 1 machine, then apply image to all machines

If these 45 machines use XP, a single image will not suffice as this is a MS anti-piracy move. Unless the school has an open license of XP.

The License is not an issue because I wanted an individual image of each machine anyway(dells)

Unless you want a lot of hands-on work, you need to run Symantec Ghost or something similar on a central console server, and you need enough space to store all those images on the network. I bought the sofware and 400 licenses for 2 grand. The cost for 50 should be significantly lower. The latest version supports multicasting and server initiated ghosting if you install the client partition on each PC.

If they are all Dells, and the same type(identical), or in groups of identical, you could create a master image(s) with installed software as this is how Dell does it in the first place.
