I need a step by step guide on using Ghost to role out windows 2000 pro to about 200 PC's. They are all about 90% identical machines (Dell dimensions) with 10% home builds.

This is the way we are going about it.

1. Do a clean install of W2K on a pc and install all apps with NO user account on the box.

2. After all apps are installed use Microsoft's SYSPREP utility. Then Ghost the pc.

3. Have the users (build different images for every group you have) test the pc and verfiy that it runs the apps correctly.

Now there are steps inbetween that I didn't list because you should know them. However one thing to keep in mind is if you are using Novell Netware use the RED N on the icon try to map your network drives. If not then uses will not be able to view the properties of any files or directories on the network and you will cause high utilization on your server and it will abend.
