OK techies. At school, we have around 60 netbooks that are all identical models. Over the coming weeks they all need configuring to have the same setup and same software, including networked drives etc. There will only be one user login on the machines as the children don't have their own.
This will be a ballache of a task to set them all up so I want to set up one exactly as I need it and then clone the drive to the other machines. I know this can be done with Norton Ghost, but I dislike Norton and don't really want to pay for the software if there is a free alternative. I have tried using Drive Image XML but it seems a bit restrictive with the restoration process regarding disk partition size.
Do any of you lot have any other alternatives that will be easy and quick to use?
