see my eariler post, it does not work on 1650's unless you have the
all the latest firmware. and is problematical on 1750's, I repeat you
must make sure that all your firmware is at the latest releases for
you to even have a fighting chance. that includes BIOS, and PERC
Controllers, you will not find much on Dells site about this but there
is plenty of infomation on the dell users forums. I would suggest
that you have a very good reveiw of them before trying. I even had a
Dell support engineer imform me that Sysprep was not supported on Dell
hardware. all this leads me to seiously worry about the quality of
Dell, Hardware and personel.
I would only use this method with dell hardware if there was
absolutely no other method you could use. I would (after my last
experience) consider manually building all the servers from
scratch.!!!!!!
