Here is the deal...I work for a company doing level 1,2,3 support. We currently have Ghost7 which has been perfect for what we need so far. We do not need a backup program since we are a company with many servers that are already being backedup. Due to ghost7 not supporting alot of the newer dell equipment and still using floppy...we need a better option. All we need is a XP box with the imaging software on it networked with a hub to create base images of workstations. So as we get brand new workstations in we cast the base image we have stored for our company right onto the new workstation harddrives. All the software i have come across has just been alot of nonsense and extra we do not need. So my question is any ideas on what i should do? will purchasing 1 license of acronis or ghostcast server work?
Thank you for all you support and advice in advance.

We're actually still playing with the ghostcast option at my job too. There is a free program out called clonezilla. I've never tried it honestly, but it looks decent and is free.

Nice, We are a windows shop. Will this work on XP boxes. Looks like it needs linux. Also looks similar to RIS we could never get RIS to run correctly maybe we just werent looking into it deep enough or Ghostcast is just so damn easy we got use to that. I am thinking about just purchasing the minimum amount of license required for ghost and just useing ghostcast to create the base images then push them out to the new machiens we get in. Since you can create 1 cd-r with all the network drivers needed for multiple machine and boot to that to cast the image. Let me know what you all think

Thanks for your response.
