Re: Employee Turnover & New Computers



Norton Ghost. There are many versions of this, personal, network,
corporate, etc. There is a version that you would setup a PC as a main
server and then streamline the image of the computer over the network
to the new machine, or old machine, and it would set it up exactly like
it was at the time the image was made. No other setup involved.

I would like to get some opinions and advice from the newsgroup.

I have a business with about 25 Users. They experience some employee
turnover. This business uses lots of macros and custom settings in Word,
Outlook, and they have other applications they use.

They are looking for a way to streamline computer setup when they have
employee turnover, or have to repair or purchase a new computer. I'm looking
at being able to apply some sort of template to set up the client exactly the
way they want it or atleast take most of the tweaking out of the process.
They spend between 2 to 4 hours setting up a computer for a new user or after
a repair.

I'm already using group policy but it does not give me all of the functions
I would like to change.

I've tried the File and Settings Transfer Wizard, but I have found that
sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. When it does work it seems to
do most of what is needed. Is there a third party app that is more reliable.

What are the things some of you do to address this situation?
