Will soon be getting about 20-30 new Dell XP desktop PC's for our company. They come pre-loaded already with XP Pro. I know Sysprep will automate a few things to set them all up at once, but its not very ideal. So I'm looking for if anyone knows of software that will add & remove software on each dell. These PC's come loaded with so much crap its ridiculous. I need to un-install: AOL, Music Match, Earthlink, etc. Then I need to configure it for our network, and then install our own applications that we use daily. Is there software that will configure each XP box like this? Thanks

Perhaps, You may configure one workstation, ghost it's image, place copy of that image to a network drive, and load the others from the network, just a thought.

Just the problem with that is, duplicate SSID's an duplicate machine names.

The eliminate duplicate SSID's you need to sysprep the machine prior to saving the image. The sysprep image could be deployed to the networked computers and will obtain new SSIDs when they are brought up. Pumfa
