I used it before when managing large labs at a university. From what I recall, it will be overkill (Scale and costs) for just a few machines… am I right?

We use that here, and it's a great product IMHO. Can schedule imaging and config jobs, along with alot of other functionality.

But it still requires spending tons of time rebuilding the machine if it’s lost/stolen/fried… I have a few machines out there with highly complicated builds, rebuilding them is a PITA, even with the original image. I’m thinking weekly images will be adequate. Any pointers?
