Options on re-imaging pc's remotely.

Joe I'm going to look at that forum, looks like there could be some good info there, thanks! We will see about the HDD option. It's not the cheapest way to go, but if we can present a business case for a need, hopefully we can get something like that. We currently use Ghost v10 and...

Options on re-imaging pc's remotely.

Thanks for the input so far. Netopia: That's definitely what we would like to do, the biggest thing holding us back from taking the "old" pc's to use as PXE or data repositories is that most of our PC's are leased. When they hit that lease return date, they have to go back. So, we don't...

Options on re-imaging pc's remotely.

We use PXE at our larger corporate site, works great with Ghost. Some of our small sites don't have Servers though, that's why we want to make it all self contained if possible. Some are home offices etc. There is no other PC available to use. That's why booting off some media on the same PC...

If you have enough sense to google "static DCHP" and come up with dd-wrt (as the 1st return) then I f'ing guarantee you that you have enough smarts to get dd-wrt up and going. It's EASY. What ScottMac proposes sounds like it would not be a bad idea either. On paper that is, not looked...

Options on re-imaging pc's remotely.

We are talking about literally thousands of machines. The purch req for those hard drives would be laughed at. :) Just to clarify, no XP Home installs are out there. Thank god... I have read a LOT of good stuff about Acronis. Maybe sometime in the future we could convince the powers...

Options on re-imaging pc's remotely.

Ideally the fix would be calling the re-imaging routine, which would be all self-contained on the local machine. Windows and other programs would still be on the C partition. Also, when the machine is re-imaged, the routine for re-imaging the machines must of course stay intact and not be...

Options on re-imaging pc's remotely.

Overall, our company is very slow to adopt new technologies. Vista will probably be a year away at least. Currently probably 1/2 of our offices use XP and the rest 2000. Our company is BARELY in the mid sized range. We have to go though change control meetings for the smallest things...

Options on re-imaging pc's remotely.

This is possible, however we would prefer to keep it all on the machine if possible. That way the users would not have the ability to loose the DVD's. Additionally it could be a problem if a PC were stolen. Trade secrets etc. It's harder to get out of a building with a PC than a couple DVD's...

Options on re-imaging pc's remotely.

I'm looking for some help coming up with a good way to re-image PC's remotely in our company. Currently what we do is created master Images using Ghost, then re-image when needed if they are having a problem that will take more than an hour or so to fix. But, many of the PC's we support are...

Thinking of doing some telecom and data cabling on the side

For a few runs I did a coupple years ago for a Federal Agency they required a printout of the certification results before they would pay. We just rented a Fluke Certification device that printed out the results on cash register style spools of paper. It only cost $45 for a day's use. That...

Got an Xbox 360

Fight Night is awesome! You should look into renting it at least. There is a free demo of Table Tennis on XBL, try it. I thought it was pretty fun actually.

Alternatives to WoW?

I tried free trials of Dungeons and Dragons, also Anarchy Online. Did not like either of them. Tried EVE and played for a few months, then got tired of waiting to travel around. Really wishing some better would come out. I've been off WoW for about 6 months, I would like something to play...
