I used Ghost extensively in my role out of new computers with NT 4.0. It was the best investment my company made. Worked like a charm, and I would use it again in a second. But I have a question. Instead of ghost walker, why not use the SYSPREP utility found with Windows 2000? I haven't used it in any great number since the shop I now work at is already 2000. It seems like a good idea, no need for ghostwalker since it creates a new SID, and you can set it to PlugNPlay when its first booted. I am relatively new to this group, so If I missed discussions about this app I apologize.

Ghost will work, but I would suggest taking at least one of the computers, rebuild it completely from scratch, make this computer your model computer. Install all apps, Service Packs, etc. Don't add it to the domain. Then ghost it. After you ghost all of the other computers, walk the SID on all of the machines and rename the computers, then fire them up and add them to the domain. Or you could fire them up and rename them in Windows. Ghost has a limitation with renaming computers. The character set has to be exactly the same. -----Original Message----- From: C.Rajagopalan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 1:45 AM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: The best way.... Hi ! We need to upgrade about 30 client machines in our Division having following config: Existing Config: 64 MB RAM, 4 GB HDD To be upgraded to: 256 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD Rest all, including the Apps, Users, etc. should remain the same in each machine. At the end of the upgradation, there will be only one 40 GB HDD in each. All clients currently run Win 2K SP2. Which is the best way to go about this upgradation, WITHOUT the full re-install of the OS ? Any case studies, experiences, pitfalls, software to accomplish this would be most useful. Thanks in advance.
