Hi Michael, there are a number ways to create testing environments with clean images. I have built a few corporate test labs and would be happy to help you build one. Microsoft's sysprep used to be the only "working" way to reproduce clean automated installs (and the only supported). Lately I have been using Altiris and Ghost and then storing the images on a network share. With Altiris, you can use a web page to restore the images. Both products will change the sid, computer name, network settings and run 3rd party applications after the restore. -Charles -----Original Message----- From: full-disclosure-admin () lists netsys com [mailto:full-disclosure-admin () lists netsys com] On Behalf Of Michael Schaefer Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2004 11:55 AM To: Full-Disclosure Subject: [Full-disclosure] Imaging Operating Systems Hi all We are building a Windows test system, to try out tool bars, spy ware, malware and trojans on. Once we learn what we need to know, we obviously want to get rid of the junk quickly and cleanly. I keep hearing suggestions about having a "clean image" to transfer onto the computer. Can anyone send some details? Is there an official Microsoft way to do this? Is some sort of over the network OS installation script in order here? Are there other vendors that do a better job?
