The Powerquest (now Symantec) product referred to is V2i Protector for Server 
asnd Workstations.
Bit pricey but does its job nicely.

BTW Ghost works fine with Compaq/HP Raid controllers althought they dont 
support it.
We use it pretty frequently when we dont deploy using the HP RDP.

  Ghost technically does not support Raid arrays (although I think sometimes 
you can make it work). However I noticed a product by PowerQuest (now owned by 
Symantec) that makes images within the Windows GUI and allows for scheduling 
images. I think this would have a better chance of working on RAID systems and 
they have a server edition. Sorry I can't recall the name right now.but if you 
search you will find it.

    Subject: [THIN] Ghosting a production Metaframe server



    Hello all,



    I know this question has been beaten to death, but I have been off the list 
for a while and am a little behind.  I am in the midst of ghosting a production 
Windows Server 2003 Metaframe XP FR3 server to a new HP DL380.  Can anyone 
point me to white papers assisting with this?  I don't know if this is possible 
with the server drives already remapped and could use a little direction.



    Thanks in advance.
