Unless you've got a method that is going to abide by BITS or a Drizzle technology, as few as 20-25 desktops at a time on 100Mbps switched networks will be absolutely drowned. If you want to do it this way, you can - just make sure that you understand your network will literally be brought to its knees while the O2k3 package(s) attempt to deploy on the totally saturated network.
This is typically a CLM (career limiting move) in most Production environments......

Any great in site into the best approach here. I have been looking at some third party applications in particularly Altiris, but I was wondering if it could be done through Group Policy / Software deployment. All desktops are W2K.
