I've recently started in a school IT dept. Whilst there seems to be many clever things that RM does, it seems to interfere in some; I miss AD a bit!<br />
Whilst it can be quite straight forward to install Windows 7 from a network drive, the problem here is that many different departments need different software on their machines. <br />
So, would you need to create a number of different clones, or is there an easy way to create a master, say, and farm out a different sets of applications subject to the machines destination.<br />

Installing OS from a network drive

The Microsoft Legacy Operating System topic includes legacy versions of Microsoft operating systems prior to Windows 2000: All versions of MS-DOS and other versions developed for specific manufacturers and Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions, and Windows Mobile.

Microsoft Legacy OS

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
