That's what Lanrev and Specops Deploy do, Ive just had difficulty. was curious to know what everyone else is using or doing for it.

ok, what and how are you guys using to deploy apps without imaging. (Mac & PC) Ive looked at specops deploy, Lanrev, ARD, Im getting tired of redoing images everytime someone wants to add an app. group policy or group based deployment would be awesome.

put your ISO image in to the Microsoft RIS wizard. ive tested this with BART PE, will try it with others.

its globally, except for the building on in which the switch resides. I will be adding a global Topology map for reference. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v19/Got2xlr8/mcsdtopology.jpg

Ok here is the rundown on the design and setup of my network (if you want a visio topology map i will be re-creating one in short order) internet | Pix---Untangle Filter | HP 4108--------(Fiber to 4 other buildings) | | | --------------------------------|--------------------------| Highschool Networked Clients DNS/AD/DHCP MAIL there are subsequent switches below the clients and in the other buildings but for the matter at hand i do not believe they are relevant. what is occurring is that the Main 4108 is electing mac address's at random to block transmittance. the phenomenon manifests it self as a complete loss of network usability, no internet or email. When i ping the 4108 it replies with no route to host. I am able to receive a DHCP assigned address from the server that crosses the switch, I have also tried manual assignments without any modification of the problem. This leads me to believe that it is a mac address issue. if I switch from one interface (assume Ethernet and wireless cards) to the other the machine resumes normal operation. both cards are assigned valid ip addresses at all times. now for the kicker eventually the working interface will get the same problem and simply switching back will return it to normal operation. there is no rhyme or reasoning to the glitch. Any thoughts or comments appreciated.

Untangle.com they now offer a rerouter version which installs on an existing XP install rather than taking the entire pc. opensource, Large community following. I run it at my district.
