Hi, I got a question some of you might be able to answer.
At work we are getting several new computers and I would like to ghost them all but here is the problem: "How do I ghost a computer without breaking the license agreement"?

Every computer must have it own Windows XP license according to the license agreement, how do I do that? :confused:

Thank you for your time,

Thierry.

your company needs to purcahse an MSDN subsrciption and/or a site license. The utility you want to keep it legit is called sysprep and is a free download from MS. With the sysprep utility you can set all the registration information (product key, site license, etc) so when you reimage a computer all that information is automatically put in.

If you own a license to win2k3 server you can use WDS (windows deployment server) which apparently according to a MS rep does not need sysprep to run it is built in. I have never tried it, just witnessed it kind of work at a training seminar I went to some months back for vista/exchange07/office07 roll out.
 
Thank you for all your reply's.
As soon as my company gets all the computers, I'll look if it possible with sysprep.
