improvement on Netrestore and shares a lot of similarities with casper in an

about pxe booting non-apple hardware or anything that didn’t involve building
stuff off of anything but apple hardware. He did mention that there
is now a Wiki for documentation. So maybe that will grow.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style='font-family:"Lucida Grande","serif"'>has anyone looked at this?
While I don't see anything it does that Casper Doesn't, it does do one
really neat thing. I supports PXE booting. So, you can
feasibly have PC clients netboot (or PXE boot as they call it) to it and image
Windows or Linux to them. This sounds very interesting for mixed client
environments. While, I have not played with it yet, I was curious if
anyone on the list has used it with Casper or what not. </span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Lucida Grande","serif"'>I mean if I could also use
one server technology to image all of our Windows clients, that would be kind
of neat. You could then have one Xserve do it all. Casper does have
some, unsupported, but working tools to image Windows on a Mac. I have
used them and they do work. </span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Lucida Grande","serif"'>I have way too much on my
plate to even attempt looking at Deploy Studio, however, if anyone else has
tinkered with it, what are your thoughts? I was thinking if possible down
the road I may run Deploy studio on my Xserves in each building for netboot and
imaging the PCs only, and then keep Casper for the Macs. I really like
the auto run data and would not want to give that up.</span> <o:p></o:p></p>
