Imaging Software

thigley986 · 10-02-2005, 06:21 PM

I'm exploring desktop imaging software options... Primarily, I need to be able to deploy PC's and laptops quickly when they crash or have extreme problems. We use about 3 different models of desktops and 3 different models of laptops.

Suggestions and thoughts?

I use Acronis True Image 8.0 on my XP Home machine and it's outstanding.

Looks like it handles commercial envirnments as well.

Do you have an active directory domain?.

Too bad you are not running Netware because ZenWorks Rocks!!!!

Yes, we do have Active Directory and have a spare member server. I've considered using RIS, but wondered what the crowd thought.

I would use RIS since it will work nicely with your SIDs.
