i was able to accomplish this for my last contract job. i have a xp sp2 ghost image with all their apps that will work on every machine they have thrown at it so far regardless of the hardware differences. if you want shoot me a email and i should be able to help you out. thanks

using pretty much just ghost and sysprep i have a image similar to what you are looking for. no hardware restrictions, delivered via network. only thing i dont have is the ability to choose to keep current config. any machine i want imaged, i boot from a cd, and let it rip.

thanks. i just checked with the user and the machine does have sp1 for office. one thing i am going to try now, is to make copies of the documents she is using and convert them to the latest version of office. maybe its because they were created under 2000?

hello everyone. I encountered a little problem that I thought I would share and get some insight from anyone that may have come across this. We are migrating the users from Office 2000 to 2003, and one user was complaining that the mail merges in Word 2003 took twice as long as it did on Word 2000. She is importing the data from a XLS file. I was wondering if anyone knew about this or has experienced the same problem. Thanks in advance.

lol thanks.

I am experiencing the same thing here. During downloads, the speeds are good. Just crawls when uploading a ghost image.

I've been reading this board and site for awhile. It's been a very useful resource to me so i wanted to take a minute to say hi and extend my gratitude for the admins to the site and the helpful posters. thanks and keep up the good work. Dawvi

thank you very much. this is exactly what i was looking for. i appreciate it. thanks again.

Hello. I have a question and thought maybe someone here would know if it can be done or if its even possible. I was wondering if there was a way to customize or edit the desktop info that earlier and beta versions of windows displays on the bottom right corner. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop And create or modify the DWORD “PaintDesktopVersion” and give it the value “1” that is the info that i am refering to. what i am looking to do is to have some other info displayed there such as machine name and maybe a short info from a txt file. any help or thoughts will be greatly appreciated. thanks and have a good one.

I just got this done for my present contractor. lemme know if you still need help.
