New to Norton... Have a few questions. Need opinions.!!1

Hey guys,

Here's my deal, maybe norton ghost is not for my situation. I'm new to creating images, I manage about 160 Desktops and configure all desktop deployment for my company. Im looking for a product to create Drive Images on CD/DVD for my users to boot too, image a New desktop and start working. My ideal situation is to have a New PC drop shipped to my Branch in Canada, overnight them a CD/DVD and have the user boot to it and be done. Will Norton 12.0 accomplish this for me.?? Thanks and I welcome any suggestions.

JKurz, Norton Ghost 12 is a consumer (retail) product, not intended to function well in a corporate setting. You should probably take a look at the Backup Exec System Recovery suite of products by Symantec, which are more closely oriented toward a corporate environment. In particular, the “LightsOut Restore” feature may allow to accomplish your objective, although not quite in the manner you anticipated.
