+100 on WDS and add MDT2010 for your images, just use WDS for the PXE boot. You can use MDT to capture your current sysprepped image or can create one for you. As you import the drivers for each model you only have 1 image for different hardware models. MDT can be set up as simple or as complex

I believe you can use WDS (formerly known as RIS) as a windows server role to achieve this. There may be some gotchas so look it up. Personally I use VMWare templates but you don't sound like a VDI environment. Typed frustratingly slowly on my BlackBerry® wireless device -Original Message--

We use WDS (Windows Deployment Services), using PXE boot. You'll need Vista drivers for the NICs on your target machines for the PE environment if that's the route you go. Jonathan L. Raper, A+, MCSA, MCSE Technology Coordinator Eagle Physicians & Associates, PA jra...@eaglemds.commailto:%20jra.
