Bill, Apple has the Apple Network Administrator's Toolkit (ANAT) which lets you do complete installs over the net from a host machine. E.g, you can have a master disk image with a specific setup and install it onto Macs over the network. This was some of the software that Apple gave to the LA school system earlier this year. -Bruce.

Ghost can install NT, a full suite of Office software AND configurations and customizations to network, remote access and desktop settings in as little as ten minutes!!! How do you take care of programs requiring serial numbers, just use the same ones for all computers? I'm sure it's not a legal problem as long as you own the actual copies for every computer to which you install, but some programs (at least on the Mac) use network copy protection. That is, if you attempt to launch a program with the same serial number as a copy already in use on the network, you get an error message stating as much and the program refuses to load. Any programs on the Wintel side like this? I'm not even sure any current Mac programs do this, but older versions of programs such as DeBabelizer and PageMaker did.
