    Why would you want to do this? Strategic, well tested and well planned deployments are the way forward. How big are the images you wish to deploy?

    well I have 2 isa server (main + backup) but cant array them as its only standard edition. if i keep one on standby it'll be progressively more out of date. so i thought if the main one could image itself overnight, I'd never had to worry about having an out of date backup

    Surely a better and infinately more practical solution would be to simply export te ISA config and save it onto the backup server?
