You didn't specify what OS'es you deploy, but for Linux/Red Hat-like systems: PXE boot, Kickstart [1], Puppet [2], Bacula [3]. PXE/Kickstart/Puppet can be managed with Cobbler [4]. Foreman [5] is an alternative for managing Puppet hosts.Any options that also handle Windows Server?
A FreeBSD boot CD ? Joke aside, it seems that Puppet already has support for it, contrary to the FAQ: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#does-puppet-run-on-windows http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetWindows Foreman seems to be built on Puppet, as I understand. PXE is well supported: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722358(WS.10).aspx ... and to finish off, Bacula works like a charm on windows, including registry backups, provided you create the system image backup and schedule it.
