----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I've been setting up a 70 station lab with NT since August,
so please forgive me if I have missed a similar question in my hasty
catch-up with my accumulated LABMGR mail.

How are you all doing with finding utilities for distributing the set-up
(we call it an image) of a "master" microcomputer to the workstations
on the floor?

I used the Resource Kit stuff at first but it's way too awkward, slow
and limited.

DiskMagic 95 works great (with NT, 95, NTFS, long file names,
NTserver, Novell, even different size hard drives) and is easy to use
and fast.  But it's pricey.  (Reasonable people may disagree.)

Has anyone found anything better or cheaper? -Ed
