Jim
We use Altiris Deployment solution here at CCPL and have for about 8 =
years now very successfully.=20
With HP (and I think dell can offer it) when you buy a PC you get one =
image license for Altiris.
=20
http://www.altiris.com
=20
You only have to buy licenses for systems that you are going to leave =
the Altiris client on to manage the unit.
(lets you shadow and push out updates) Otherwise you needn't purchase =
anything but the initial product.
=20
You can download a free working demo from altiris and check it out and I =
would be happy to offer any tips or assistance you need in getting it =
going. You could even stop out some day since you are so close and have =
a look at how we are using it if your like. The hardest part is getting =
the boot CD going. But ghost is the same way.=20
=20
The other great altiris product I love that I have mentioned here is =
Altiris Protect.  It is a simple lock down product like goback that =
restores a system to the same state by simply logging off and back on.

We're looking for an imaging software solution.  So far, we've looked =
into Ghost and ImageCast.  We're a little confused about how many =
licenses we need to purchase.  Do we really need to purchase a license =
for EVERY computer that we have (90+)?  What are the odds that we will =
have to image or restore every computer on our network?  If we only have =
ten different builds of computers, i.e Dell270's, Dell 280's, generic =
brand X, generic brand Y, ect... could we get away with only purchasing =
ten licenses?  How do other sites handle this issue?  Please respond.
