Look at Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010. It will give you a platform for creating OS and application builds that you can customize to your needs. We use MDT's big brother, SCCM 2007's Operating System Deployment, for our most of PC builds now.
Note that this is much easier in Windows 7 than it is in XP, as the tool is more focused on the current OS (plus Win 7's driver model is much easier to work with). -Malcolm From: Chris Blair [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 10, 2011 14:10 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Imaging Computers Running Native 2003 R2 Active Directory, with all XP clients.

I have not done much with imaging, so any recommendations, on Low Cost (read free.), solutions would great.
