We are goiing to start with vista. At the moment we use winxp pro. Deploying is done with Ghost 8 and Ghostcastserver. Boot a pc with usb, restore the image, run sysprep afterlogin. PC number must be entered after reboot. A new sid is created by sysprep. Sysprep is also taking care of the log on to domain. The only problem i have now is that i cannot restore the Image when new harde arrives on the Dell machine's. Every new Dell machine i have to make a new install for xp and programm's and make a new image... Ghost 8 is not working with Vista. I would like to know how do you, if you make use of it, deploy Vista on a network. Also if you have running WindowsXP and Vista together. Is there somewhere a guide for WDS. There are many terms on the internet to deploy with WDS. For example: WAIK, PDE2.0, PXE, Ximage etc. But there are more solutions like Ghost newest deployment software or Acronis true image snap deploy? WDS is free so this is probable the best solution. So how do you deploy vista and xp thru a domain network?
