<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>We use Altiris Deployment
solution here at CCPL and have for about 8 years now very successfully.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>With HP (and I think dell can offer it)
when you buy a PC you get one image license for Altiris.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>You only have to buy licenses for systems
that you are going to leave the Altiris client on to manage the
unit.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>(lets you shadow and push out updates)
Otherwise you needn't purchase anything but the initial product.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>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. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

software<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=931080100-19082005>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.</SPAN></DIV>
