Yeah, I think I'd go HP before Dell. I've had "colourful" experiences with Dell machines in the past.

Oh yes not to mention we've got to format and load 15 laptops tomorrow - a long day - all becuase a Dell API (not known which yet) conflicts with out new remote access software.

Oooh, sounds nice. Do you have a standard build at your company Daron?

We have about 5 standard builds which apply to three lappys only - the rest will be stanard plus plus minus, minus... Plus about 5 differnt models of lappy to not worth ghosting - mind the the company won't sanction buying that so thats not an option...

Do you use unattended DVD builds D? XP I take it?

windows · 14-02-2008, 07:22 PM

Nope standard Tyco Dell XP CD - basically standard XP2 without Google.

Isn't that a lot of pain? You'd save hours with a decent unattended setup.

Just FYI I upgraded our unattended stuff the other week and decided to try the SP3 Beta. It all seemed pretty cool bar the HD audio but when I ran windows update it picked up 20 critical patches. 20!

Tell me about it but will folks listen........ Mind you I've never done an unattended setup, is is possible to get oen set up with basics like XP, Office, Lotus Notes, etc?

hehehe 20 - why does that not surprise me - mind you it is not released yet.....
