    Hi guys, I've got a lab of 30 Optiplex 755 computers. I've setup one to be exactly what I need, because I have a copy of ZenWorks Imaging, and I was going to multicast. I boot it up and it won't initialize the hardware.

    Apparently the motherboard is newer than the disc that I have, and I'm unable to use it. I'd try to fix that, but am not familiar enough with linux to get in there and do anything, and I don't have a linux pc available to work on.

    So I need ideas about another program that I can use to multicast. Preferably a free one, as I have to go and ask for money for things like that, and to get approval would take longer than it would take for me to set up 30 computers.

    As always, anything is appreciated. Have a great day. Oh and if you think this should be elsewhere in the forums, please let me know.

    I'm thinking about cloning one copy to a USB hard drive, then flashing that copy to the other computers one at a time. Does anyone that that there might be an easier or quicker solution?
