My company has finally purchased CS3 and I am looking for the best strategies for deployment as part of an initial configuration. I have been testing for several days with mixed results. Using the CS3 methods in Casper admin to create a deployment package seems to only function part of the time. I end up delivering CS3 that wants the License key on first run. (Note: I am using Design Premium and an open license). The time it takes to deliver is also too long for my liking. I have also been experimenting with delivering CS3 in a policy after the initial image delivery. Results are also mixed. I know I am late to the CS3 game, but how are you guys doing your deployments?<BR>

Thanks<BR>
