: | Our school has just recently taken delivery of a number of Dell PCs
: | (1.7 GHZ, 40GB HDD, 256 RAM) that are going to be running WINDOWS 2000
: | NT NOS. Our system is set up so that our student users don't have
: | right-mouse outside of applications such as MS-Office. Students have no
: | right to alter "c:\".
: |
: | We are going to ghost a machine and use that clone the image to the
: | remaining 20 systems.
: |
: | Students have access to the web (with some restrictions imposed by the
: | requyired filtering systems) but our principle problems are spyware,
: | and of course the ususal viruses, trojans and so forth. We are running
: | Symantec with live upadates for these latter, but we still get a lot of
: | problems with unwanted plug-ins (eg "whenusearch" attaching to
: | Explorer).
: |
: | A couple of questions come to mind.
: |
: | I'm considering installing Adaware, and Spybot S&D on the original
: | machine from which the ghost will be created. Are these the most
: | time-efficient, user-friendly and effective Malware products?
: |
: | Is reghosting from a pristine or defragged machine an adequate
: | maintenance alternative to defragmenting and disk clean up or are there
: | good reasons for going around and deleting unnecessary programs and
: | temp files before running scandisk and defrag better in some measurable
: | way?
: |
: | I'm trying to ensure I spend as little time fiddling as possible,
: | because, in practice time comes to us teachers in bits and pieces and
: | getting half way through a task and having to do something else is
: | quite common.

: All those News Groups and to most, you have posted Off Topic.
: What you posted has NOTHING to do with Win98 or FireWalls !
: Not one of the News Groups was for a Win2K News Group or a Security News
Group !
:
: Ad-aware SE and SpyBot S&D are good choices !
:
: Ghosting a source PC and Ghosting to the other platforms is an excellent
idea. I use
: Symantec Ghost Enterprise in a corporate environment and it it is highly
valuable in
: deploying and maintaininmg the platforms.
:
: Before you Ghost the platform, make sure Win2K SP4 is installed, all MS
Office Service
: Packs are installed and all MS Critical Updates are installed. Install
Mozilla FireFox as
: the default browser and configure all aspects of software. When done copy
the profile to
: the Default User profile. Then make your clone. When you get down do,
there is no need to
: worry about defragging prior to a Ghost image or after restoring a Ghost
image. Defragging
: is the LEAST of your worries and shouldn't be a consideration at all.
