I've done a little over 80 workstations simultaneously myself. It works, but takes a few hours. I usually start them at the end of the day and check to make sure they finished in the morning. I work for a k-12 school district where the computers get very little use outside of school hours, so the extended install time isn't really a problem. I plan on upgrading the server to gigabit ethernet soon from 100baseT, which should help the congestion, but Unattended will always use more bandwidth than a multicast system. For me, not having to deal with 30 different image files is worth it. -- Daniel ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
