I have used ghost, driveimage and partition magic's version and Altiris kicks their ass -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tony Lyne (Computerland) Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 3:08 PM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: Cloning/Ghosting terminal servers Andrew, Ive done extensive work in this area and have found Ghost not to be the best because of its limited hardware support and capabilities, especially on some RAID controllers. Weve found the best product to bang out servers is Altiris deployment suite (www.altiris.com). Its a real gem. It lets us schedule servers to have images uploaded from them at any time and also allows for scheduled re-images of servers. It supports Sysprep and has its own version of Sysprep (Sidgen) which has a few extra features over sysprep. Its entirely event driven and object oriented (ie, drag and drop). Its also a tool which you can manage your entire enterprise from like also deploying out workstation images, software inventory etc.. If you have servers that support PXE then it can make full use of this technology and deploy/image servers without even visiting them. If you have Compaq hardware it has features that support the Compaq smart start stuff as well. Its also very cheap, not much more expensive as compare to Ghost. a 30day trial is downloadable from their web site.

If you are using symantec ghost how do you handle loading the scsi driver on on the boot disk?
