Thanks for the reply Gary...I was just curious. Have you tried using Ghost for cloning and sysprep for post deployment? It works pretty well even with the Dell partition. -Shariff -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Garyp New Sent: Friday, June 02, 2006 11:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Profile migration to new domain I use Symantec V2i Desktop (formerly Powerquest Drive Image) for backing up and for cloning my workstations's. The restores don't seem to work, especially when restoring cloned image, when I leave that Dell partition on there. Advice I got from a consultant (pretty good consultant otherwise, so don't say drop the guy) was to wipe that partition. It's stopped the problems. And I seem to have fewer problems in general when I wipe the HD clean and install windows without the Dell partition. I'm open to suggestions - probably some good ones in this bunch. That's probably not the best way to clone either.

I find it very useful for diagnosing hardware issues especially when Dell reps ask: 'Did you run the Dell diagnostics on your machine and if so what's the error code?' prior to them sending out the needed hardware replacement. -Shariff -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Garyp New Sent: Friday, June 02, 2006 9:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Profile migration to new domain Susan, All nuke and pave's may not be equal. Occasionally, I encounter a machine where the little Dell partition doesn't want to completely go away when you try to re-partition the HD during the windows install. That causes problems for the windows install, or other issues if the install goes through, that can't be cleared up unless I use Partition Magic to wipe the partition and then re-partition it during the windows install. Has worked every time so far. Just a thought.
