# does it work ok
if the spec of the machines is a bit different? can you strip out machine specific device drivers etc before you clone it?

does the application installation thing produce .msi files?

sorry for all the questions, but this could be quite useful for me.

# You can work around it, I think...
it can work with Sysprep to do different systems, but I haven't got to that yet. I had 6 PCs the same, so it was easy. Made an image with OS and ALL our apps on and deployed it.

The app thing is fantastic. The whole thing works as a server console with a client on workstations that just sits in the background invisibly. You install the app once, just the way you want it, with Ghost taking a before and after snapshot of your system. It makes a package of changes to the file system and registry, then you broadcast it to any other machines you need the app on. Superb.

edit - email me to discuss if you want more info - [email protected]
