One way of ensuring you have a system image that will restore on *any* 
machine is to virtualize your hardware using VMware. Not suggesting you 
would use it on a production server, but highly recommended for a 
development and test environment. You can run multiple systems under one 
PC for testing and simulation. You can even take a snapshot of your 
system before embarking on a risky manoeuvre so that if you screw up, 
you can revert the system (something like being in a plane crash with 
Flight Simulator). Provided you have reasonable CPU, RAM and hdisk, the 
performance overhead is hardly noticeable in a non-production system. 
And VMware Workstation is quite affordable too.

Hey all
does anyone know if it is possible to ghost a wnidows 2003 server and
restore it onto another server?
I am setting up a new server and i have a system i am using to do my setup
on so when the new server comes i can hopefully just ghost it and restore it
onto my production server
I know there was issues when i was doing the same thing with my windows XP
Pro system in that cause of the activation, i had to run this exe which made
it OEM compatibule, but i could only restoer onto machines with the same
specs
Has anyone had any experience with this?
