Ghost should be able to do all this if you use sysprep as well. You may need
separate images for the different manufacturers depending on the hardware.
Technet and the reskit has loads of info on sysprep.

You'll have to use Sysprep, but I think you can do it. It all depends on
how new the machine is, the HAL needs to be 2000 compliant. You'll have to
read up on sysprep, because it can load different IDE controller types. To
answer your question, Ghost 2002 will work, and does so quite nicely.
Ghost and Sysprep is the right combination.
We have been happily using Altiris Xpress, but so far we did seperate
images for seperate platforms and didn't use the sysprep approach.

ghost or any program will not autoreconfigure your hardware, you have to
have the same hardware on both the original image and the one you are
pushing to, if you have only a few different hardware configs it is worth it
to create those and use them for each specific type of machine. You can also
First off, you don't use Ghost 2002 in an enterprise. That is a single
user/single PC version. You need Ghost 7 Enterprise.

rule of thumb is you make different images for different HW.

the best way I've found is to do an image of each of the machines types then
use them accordingly. win2k doesn't like to change some types of hardware
(ide controllers) even though it's plug play. if the machines have
different controllers they will blue screen on startup and give you a
There is a way (can't recall of the top of my head) to make the first thing
the system does after having a pre-made image applied, do the PnP/hardware
search routine, thereby setting the hardware profile up with the hardware
specific to the model, effectively making the image independent of the
Hi Roger,
Install 1 machine, use sysprep on the windows 2000 cd and then shut it
down make a ghost image and then copy the image to the other compaq /
dell machines and run ghost again (remember the hardware has to be
very similar, can't remember of the top of my head what can't change
but
I don't think you can ghost a Dell then push to a Compaq (different
hardware), I even tried it on a different model same Dell..but you still can
ghost it and then reapply the right drivers.
Re comp name , create an image without joining the domain (workgroup only)
then you can join it after push
