This is a youtube video tutorial that I made for elementary school computer teachers (like myself) and entry level techs at schools.
It is about 7 1/2 minutes long and provides an overview of the process involved in cloning computers across the local area network.
It is not intended to be encylopedic or exhaustive of every technical concern that affects duplicating machines. Hence, topics such as O/S licensing issues, sysprep, DHCP servers, etc.. are not covered.
The video is a basic guide to assist those who may be cloning the manual way of removing the computer case and attaching extra drives. That technique is common in elementary schools and practiced by district techs in my state of CA. This video is designed to help people bridge the knowledge gap and to make the technology accessible using the freely available BartPE and SelfImage programs.
I present it here in the interest that the information may be useful for people who are curious about how network imaging can be done, or those looking to upgrade their tech skills.
The software used is a BartPE CD which is a bootable windows CD with network support and a GUI. The cloning software is "selfimage" a freeware disk imaging program.
Once at youtube, if you click my username, you'll see I have added several other videos. There are videos about how to create the BartPE CD, adding the free "Selfimage" program and if need be, adding a whole bunch of extra nic card drivers.
