Best practise for maintenance PC
Hi guys,
In our company we changed all workstations and laptops. but they are not partitioned, they came with windows 7, we configured user accounts by adding the clients to the domain.
We are nearly 100 users. I am the only tech. so i am looking for the best and easy way for maintenance.
Creating an image with 2 partitions on hardisk will be easy for maintenance or leaving them as it is will be useful in case if i need to reinstall windows ?
Thanks for your suggestion

Sorry, if i wasnt clear..I mean added the workstation laptops to the domain. :)
We dont have any enterprise backup software for the clients, but in our company they save locally on the computers.. but they are inteded to save on the network drives.
how about partitioning them into 2 ? so that in case if we want reimage the pc, we can move the datas to another drive ..
And also, i would like to know, do i need to purchase windows 7 licence again to install on the pcs laptop ?
i can able to create the image the cd come with the materials ?

Regarding maintenance, if all are the same hardware, you can get one loaded and configured as you need, then image it. There are so many backup options, what you select really depends on how data is used / stored. In corporate networks, usually the workstation is of little value, as all the valuable data is on network storage. If you have the opposite scenario, it really depends...do you have any current enterprise backup software running? Desktop-laptop option agent backups are available through most of the "big boys".
