Imaging made easier with FOG!

If you work in a fast paced, multiple user environment that deals with setting up an average of 50 or more new computers per month that require a specific image on them, then I would highly recommend an imaging tool such as FOG!

FOG is a free open source web based GUI. It’s so easy to use that even a basic user can kick things off quickly! There is no need to even be physically at the workstation with the WOL (Wake on LAN) utility, and with PXE enabled the computer will look for the FOG server and the rest is straightforward from there. The user will be prompted for the operating system desired, along with the image needed. Then, whether or not there are multiple uploads within FOG, after a few simple questions the image process will begin. Simple! This process cuts down the turnaround time to image a computer by half, if not more! Plus there are no CD’s or operating system discs that are required. To upload an image from the desired computer is just as effortless! To learn more, check out the FOG wiki: http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Knowledge_Base
