I just recently began work at a large corporation running Windows from NT to Server '03 and XP Pro for Desktops. As the assistant for one of the Network Engineers I was assigned a project utilizing Norton Ghost Corp. Edition. This large organization has created a soup of hardware components, intergrating Dell, Compaq, and a few HP here and there. My project is to setup a ghosting server/PC manager to quickly image and install PC's. However, there is no two computers alike at one given point to image. To make my story short, I have slightly made a few suggestions/comments to my boss that it would be a wonderful idea to implement Open Source to improve the work station performance and problems for those people who do not require critical business applications. Today, my boss completly shut my idea down stating "I have used Microsoft thoughout my career and this organization depends on the generosity of Microsoft". :[ "Further more, there is no need to learn other Linux or MAC." Wow! My boss blew me away, seriously, I can no longer take this job serious anymore. The Senior Network Engineers seem to busy for me to even approach regarding this matter. At this point, I am looking for alternatives and I am not stoping to ask for permission since really this is my project. [ok here is my question :P what recommendations can I get regarding the cloning of Window computers without the hassle of using a third party crap?
