We reinstall all desktops and laptops from our own images - I don't want any extra crud. I reinstall all servers from scratch - I don't like the default partitioning. Plus I want to make sure that I actually have all necessary drivers to reinstall a server from scratch in a no-stress situation. It's much easier to make sure that an external USB floppy drive works as well as the floppies with a 3rd party RAID controller driver when I'm not dealing with a department frantic to get their computer life back. ;^) ~ Esther ________________________________ From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Charlot, Firmin Sent: Friday, March 14, 2008 2:32 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] Personal devices and MSU PCs [snip] I am curious to find out what others do with new machines. Do you keep the installations from the factory or do you rebuild from your own in-house computer image?
