Submission + - Possible System Imaging Solutions?
grag writes: I work in a very lean IT department of a small game developer. Currently, we have a small testing lab our developers can use for compatibility testing. However, we will soon need to perform compatibility testing running 3d games on various language versions of MS Windows.
We will need a system where the developer can easily choose a desired language system image and restore a machine without the assistance of IT.
I've looked at Acronis Snap Deploy, but it will only load a Master image determined by the deployment server. I've also looked at using something with Ghost for Linux and a PXE server, but I'd first like to get some feedback from the Slashdot crowd to help point me in the right direction.
Has anyone deployed a setup that will allow a computer to PXE boot off a server and then present the user with a list of various system images to clone onto the hard drive?
