For you admins who manage thick images for multiple remote locations, how do you distribute the images? I have 4 thick images, each of which is 8-12GB; due to the size of the images and WAN bandwidth concerns, I have to distribute via DVD/physical shipment.

Hardware is 95% Lenovo, with just over 35+ total models supported. Myself and a junior admin do all imaging, hardware cert, and building/managing OSD. 350+ techs do the day to day imaging at each site.

Two for BAU and two for new stuff. Not going to happen, though.... Do more with less, faster.
