hey there! I work in a Portuguese University, FEUP, and I am implementing for over 6 months (!!!) a huge RIS project that incorporates various Microsoft technologies to automate almost all of the work in our "computer repair shop". For your idea, I came up with a solution that is to use "RIS Menu Editor" from www.emboot.com that lets you use a Ghost boot disk and deploy whatever images you want.. Best regards, Ivo
