From someone who is in the middle of a Windows 7 deployment to 1500 workstations using SCCM I think this is definitly the best way to go. It's very unfortunate however that the WinPE environment that is loaded prior to installation is not accessible but it's a standard sequence of key
Hi Listers,
I've been pondering about this question for sometime, and would really
Hi Darragh, Scot and Ryan,
Thank you all for the info on how you would go about doing it thus far.
Its good to know that there exists options for both windows and linux.
now for my questions, which I hope you will read and reply if you have any

already has an operating system? or does it have to be formatted first?
Regards,

2. Use PXE or something like that, where the computer which will get the image, boots from the network card to the server where the image is then accessed. not sure exactly on this one as I'm no sysadmin, but merely just someone
computers, how do you go about doing it? the image from the server and restore it to the system. trying to learn.
I know about deploying applications through sccm since I've heard
Daragh's podcast on the deployment of jaws.
Thanks for reading, and any reply on how you manage to do such things
would really be welcome as I'm such a newbe, it is one of my dreams to learn how sysadmins do the things they do.
