How many machine's did you send the image to? What tool did you use? We are
upgrading from NT to XP, likely using either LANDesk or Altiris Management
Suite's. We have about 850 machine's and each of them have multiple
specialty application's that would need installed. Thus far, upgrade seems
more likely for us.
