Why not multi-platform ghost image?

[lkeneston]

Maybe a dumb question, but i just need to know, Why not multi-platform ghost image?

I am creating a platform solution at work, and it still seems to me that a Why not multi-platform ghost image is quicker then an unattended install, if i am wrong please let me know so i may reevaluate how i do this.

We use altiris, so i can push unattended installs and images.

Thanks in advance,

Lee

A multi-platform image is a quicker deployment than an unattended install. Once you get the all of the MSD (Mass Storage Device) drivers and PnP drivers injected/pre-installed, the tricky part is allowing for multiple HAL's (Hardware Abstraction Layer). It can be done, and it does work, but don't expect Microsoft to support it in the current version of Sysprep. You'll have to go outside the Microsoft utilities to make it happen.
