loads of hardware and most work fine. What I
find lacking is the ability
to
IMAGE copy the disks(for NT4) replace the disk and write it back. I'm
used
to doing this with VMS to clone a disk and it's a life saver.
Around Point Loma they use a Symantec utility called GHOST to do this. I
ghosted two NT workstations this way to make a template backup. One small
detail, though, is that you have to fix security IDs when you're done, but
the GHoSTWALK utility makes this easy to do.
I think they include a utility called SID? to do that. Also, my
understanding is that the SID is assigned automatically when the machine is
first connected to the network. I ghosted the drives from a newly installed
system that had not been connected to the network and things seemed to work
out just fine.
