I believe all of Powerquest was acquired by symantec. Perhaps look at symantec v2i protector which does an amazing job of administrating and creating images and restoring them. It is more server based, but it would make a very nice tool for a lab environment if you could afford the expense. As an alternative there is a product called Acronis True Image, which looks almost like a copy of v2i protector. The cost for this is a measly US$69 or something. It allows full and incremental image creation. Live image creation whilst within windows. Boots off a CD etc. etc. It has replaced ghost in my arsenal for simple imaging tasks. I don't think it will be around for long as I am sure they are stepping on symantecs toes :) Suffice to say Vmware still rocks for testing as well.

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? Thanks _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html
