Question : Deploy Ghost Image Using Windows Deploymet Services

I was wondering if it's possible to deploy a Norton Ghost Image through Windows Deployment Services. The image would be deployed from a server running Windows Sever 2008 to a dektop running Windows XP Pro. The article I read states that custom images can be created but does not list which types of images are supported. We rarely have to deploy images, but when we do we would like to push the image from our server. If this is not supported does anyone have a reccomendation for deploying desktop images from a server.

Answer : Deploy Ghost Image Using Windows Deploymet Services

Vista uses XML, while XP uses unattended.txt and sysprep.inf. You might try this way:
- Use XP OS
- Install all the app, drivers, fixes etc.
- Extract and run SYSPREP
  --  c:\sysprep.exe -mini -quiet -reseal
- After the shutdown, boot with Windows PE 2.0
- Create a connection with your BDD server
  --  net use f: \\BDD_server\distribution_share
- Go to f:\tools\x86 (32bit)
- Run "imagex /capture /compress maximum c:\ f:\Captures\file_name.wim "XP Image Name"
- Import your wim file into WDS using the "Add Boot Image" not "Add Install Image"
- Use the customsetting.ini file on the Control folder of your BDD distribution share to control the level of unattendet setup that you want.  You might have to do a research on how to use BDD Configuration.

I dont know System Works 2004 will work, because I never try that.
