What problems have you had on Dell hardware? I'm getting ready to do this on Dell PowerEdge 1750s and now you've got me worried.

Unless its on Dell Platforms in which case it has been a pain I also use imaging software as mentioned my Micheal. in my opinion Either way is fine as long as you do your homework regards "Callahan, Michael" <MichaelCallahan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I would recommend against this approach - had a guy in my org who was fond of doing this and we had to go back and reinstall the OS on most of his servers due to various problems. In my opinion it is a sloppy way of provisioning an OS. Use Ghost, Altiris or a scripted RIS/unattended install for provisioning your servers.

They also mentioned that they had a set of procedures for doing this and were willing to share. I'm looking to adopt this methodology as it seems to be the easiest and was hoping that someone would be willing to share those procedures?
