Hi Mes, i use RIS along with RISme ($69.99US) and add the appropriate NIC drive to my RISme menu, this way i use the PXE boot option from RIS but use ghost 8 E.E. to deploy my images. also i use sysprep to prepair my winxp-sp2 workstations. this works great for my classroom environment over 150 computers that i image at least 3-4 times a week.
