Hello,
I need some advice and links to various website of interest. Firstly, I
must state that I am really new to the IT/Networking world (so
explain/elaborate as much as possible).
I currently work in an expanding office that includes about 20 pc or
laptops. When we need to reformat a pc, I have to manually input the win2k
cd on each individual machine and then run through the various steps of the
installation, retrieve and install all the service packs and hotfixes.....
(everyone knows the longs way of doing things!). My question is a simple
but complexe one, how can I do this better?! There has to be a better
approach. I looked at various approaches but have run into numerous road
block and thus the reason for this post. I cannot use the RIS method (don't
meet the requirements), then I turned to sourceforge and came accross the
ANI but you cannot automate the installation if you want to format using
NTFS before the install.....
Although this isn't necessarily the right post, windows installation goes
hand in hand with office installation and as such, I am also looking for
input as to an effective way to install them sequentially (with all the
latest updates).
Any advice, input is welcome!
