Hi,

I am going to be administering a small network within my department
with about 60 computers.  I am about to upgrade the network to Windows
XP and in the past I just used a boot disk to reimage machines when
required.  Can someone give me a suggestion on a good way to setup a
system where I can remotely reimage the machine, preferably using
Linux?  Thanks a lot!

use of a master slave style system for imaging machines across a
network

We used Drive Image to re-image over the network. Worked very well.


"Linux users will appreciate DIPro's BootDisk Builder utility, which
can set up diskettes for PowerCasting servers and clients. Note that
PowerCasting requires NDIS network-interface drivers."
