We're soon to roll out a few hundred PCs and laptops with Windows XP Pro and
I'm trying to find out the best way to do it.
If I use RIS then I believe that I can roll out the XP operating system and
possibly MS Office as well at the same time.
Can RIS roll out other programs and apps as well (such as WinZip, Acrobat
Reader and other apps that may be in our standard build) or is it basically
just the O/S and MS Office?
We've used ghosting before which has worked quite well as we can build one
machine with everything installed and configured how it should be then put
the ghost image on all other machines of the same type.
Are there any advantages to using RIS over ghosting? or vice versa?
How do other people go about rolling out a desktop installation to a few
hundred machines?
Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Pete.
