Re: Creating OS image and deployment

Yes, you can remotely deploy a ghost image. This is done using a boot disk and an image on a network drive.
Also, if you don't have a volume licensing version you can still deploy the same Ghost image to multiple machines without violating your licensing arrangement by using Sys Prep before creating the image. That assumes that you have sufficient separate license keys though (sysprep will strip the SID's and you have to enter the separate ones after the image is loaded).
