As long as the mass storage controllers are the same, you'll probably be
lucky. If not, keep the drivers handy on a floppy for the first boot.

Subject: [THIN] Ghosting Windows 2003
I am adding a server to my farm. An IBM x335. My existing servers are two
IBM x330 and an IBM Netfinity 7000. The 335 is already installed and
running with Windows 2003 and Metaframe XPa FR3. I have some users testing
it and it may get a few more tweaks, but otherwise it is all set.
If I ghost it and restore the image onto the x330 servers, will it recognize
and fix the hardware differences? They are not that different but there are
differences. Then I am assuming there needs to be some renaming etc before
I plug them back into the network. They will be keeping their old windows
2000 names. I am just trying to get them running on Windows 2003 and I
really don't feel like re-installing everything by hand three more times.
Am I out of my mind with this approach or is this possible?
Thanks!
Greg
