At work I use Ghost Enterprise for our clients. It has update options and you can ghost over the network to as many simultaneous clients as your bandwidth will allow from ghostcast servers. Your remarks about updates hosing up OSs can be a nightmare! We have a couple of test boxes we use to make sure updates won't break anything, then we release them to our SUS server to go to the clients. Even then, sometimes updates will cause problems.

Thanks a lot - I have options with backup arguments to make my best choice. I appreciate all the input!

Yeah, for the professional, Critical Updates & system backups are like manna from heaven - it's boring and frustrating as hell, but it's absolutely necessary and can be very, very lucrative.

However, for the amateur, that stuff can drive them bonkers [and they don't get paid to do it].

PS: What're they charging for Ghost Enterprise these days? [Off the top of my head, I'd guess at least about $100 per client seat.]
