Hardware independent disk image prog?

[Scott Ehrlich]

I've read reviews of Ghost, Drive Image, Altiris, and others, for cloning
a Windows machine to clients.

I work in a very heterogenious hardware environment on a TCP/IP network.
We have 500+ machines, all different types (hardware and OSes).

What I'd love to find is a disk imaging program which supports PXE or
something similar, doesn't care if a host is part of a Windows domain or
wants to remain independent, and can tolerate most any type of hardware -
at least for SCSI and IDE, processor, laptop, desktop, whatever. Network
and video drivers can always be obtained later, if necessary.

The solution should be for one to 1000+ machines.

Thanks in advance for any leads.
