Re: Do MS have a cloning utily like GHOST

Sysprep prepares an OS for cloning, it does not DO the cloning.

is not correct/true. Thanks anyway for the help

Hi all

What is Microsoft's utility called that you can use for images and to clone
pc's like GHOST is. My boss wants to stick with MS on our infrastructure.

Thanks for the help.

MS does not have a stand-alone cloning utility;
The only thing that MS offers is:
"Windows Complete PC Backup and Restore" ,
which is integral to Windows VISTA.
No other MS Operating System has a cloning utility.
