Re: Imaging Operating Systems

In a large telemarketing company I used to I.T. for, we ran across Deep 
Freeze. (http://www.faronics.com/)

This product allowed pretty much any changes to be made to the machine 
including customizations, deletions, and propagation of virus / worms, 
without harm to the machine.  In fact all it took was a simple reboot to 
clear what changed had been made, and have the machine back to its 
"frozen" state.

Simple, Effective.
