!Help! Need Enterprise class imaging solution recommendation.

[revolutn]

So my organization has heretofore been using Symantec's GHOST to deploy images to pc's.

But their licensing cost is outrageous, 1 license per imaged client (bleh).

We're actively seeking an immediate replacement.

Our UK folks want to go with MS's WIM & WSUS Image Deployment, but the US team is pushing back on account of requirements for a dedicated server and an additional OS license, at least requirements within our current infrastructure, not to the MS product itself perse.

Can anyone recommend a FREEware - OR- alternatively a much lower than GHOST cost solution, preferably one that also allows editing of ntfs images, which I know GHOST finally did after version 11 with Ghost Explorer.

Any thoughts appreciated.

TIA
Rev

I would also recommend the Microsoft solution that is included with server 2008. Yes it will require more licenses but it is any easy to use and Enterprise level solution.

Do you use it?
