    Hi Guys

    Myself and a couple of engineers need to do a major upgrade of around 1000 PCs from Windows 2000 to XP.

    Any ideas on the best way to do this?

    Thanks to all for any advice,

    Jeff

    Hello

    I believe the majority of them are, something like 700-800.

    Thanks,

    I did wonder about sysprep, just wondered if there were any other methods.

    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Could consider drive cloning software, but then all PCs have to be same.
