They are all Dell's, pretty much Optiplex and Dimensions. The motherboard
will be different. I currently don't have a 2k AD setup, NT still controls
my domain. I'm reading up on sysprep, and it appears that Sysprep will work
with an NT controlled domain since it's mainly looking for share names for
the packages. I don't know, I'm not through the whole article yet. From
what I understand, the RIS features of a 2K AD environment replace the need
for sysprep, correct? Anyhow, we own a copy of Norton Ghost 2001, and I'd
like to use it since I've used it in the past. However, I'd like to do this
the best way possible, and in a way that will work later on. I don't have
an available box to test the image on right now, so that's why I'm asking.
I guess I could just try it here in the near future. I'll be moving to AD
soon, but for now I'm dealing with 2k clients and NT servers.

How different is the HW....
If we are talking video and sound cards, it shouldn't be a big deal.
Now a motherboard, that would be different.

Subject: Ghost and 2000
Has anyone had any experiences with Ghosting and Win2k in this scenario:
I want to create a standard machine configuration for my developers with
2000. I want to have 1 image, that will work with different hardware
configurations. Does anyone know if this is possible? I know it wasn't
with NT, and before I dive in and just try it, I'm wondering if anyone
has done or is doing this.
I don't mind taking the ghost of 2000 and reconfiguring the hardware,
but will it freak out if the hardware has changed? Thanks.
