like the mirroring idea but we have just over 30 differnt "images" of netware bit too unruly, I think portlock is or was ghost for netware i'll try an old version see what happens but i think i read there are issues with NSS and then there is the img files to think of.

True, true...

Most sysadmins prolly wouldn't think to pull of DS, because they've been brainwashed by M$ that a server has to be installed from scratch to host directory services and removing those services requires a complete rebuild. Folx don't know that NDS is so much better than ADS.

Hi, thanks but...

The situation is i need to set up rooms with upto 12 differnt novell servers, some using clustering some with group wise , differnt users , trees etc etc soem with differnt file systems.

imaging is the quickest way to set theses up (each week) as we do for microsoft and unix courses) but novell keeps falling over and i was wondering if anyone had found software that imaged novell effectivly.

I have scirpted installs that can set servers up with out intervention etc but theses still take an age.

none of the software so far mentioned can image a complete novell 6 server setup and let me use it on another (similar) machine
all have problems with NSS partions, do you know of anything that deal with them..

How about backup software? You could back up to a sufficiently large NAS device and restore from there. That should go fairly quickly.
