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.

I have been using this method for a few years now without
issue...........

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

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.

                I would use Ghost instead.

                Subject: [THIN] Replicate server - break mirror

                A while back a few people mentioned that they were
replicating their Citrix servers by breaking mirror sets and then simply
moving one of the mirrored drives to the new server. 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? 

                 

                Thanks!
