<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>I guess it all depends on your tolerances for things from the sounds of it. If you already have the Casper Suite you can utilize a restore partition or a CasperInstall netboot instance to image the machines when you want them to. The only issue there is the time for a rebuild, particularly if you have large applications like Adobe CS3, Final Cut Studio, etc.<BR>

If you want that instant gratification it sounds like Deep Freeze (much like on the Windows side with Deep Freeze or SteadyState) will clean out changes on reboot, and would be a good compliment to your Casper deployments. But this then requires you to purchase additional software.<BR>
<BR>
Good luck,<BR>

I manage somewhere between 50 to 75 Macs. Is there a way to keep my<BR>
machines in a clean state with a script or some other form of<BR>
management?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
