We have started migrating to Windows7 since Microsoft stopped shipping XP recovery disks. We're also in the process of migrating away from Novell e-Directory to Active Directory. I've noticed some intermittent connection problems, e.g. mapped network drive randomly becoming disconnected or being unable to log back into a locked workstation first time, but the same password works again if used a second time. According to MS to issue is due to the patch level on the Novell server. However the Infrastructure team do not want to patch the server because it's a little temperamental and may go belly up. After all it's being migrated away from..... However this does help me with the issues my users are facing, so does anybody have any suggestions / recommendations from a desktop perspective that may help at least improve the situation until the Novell servers are turned off once and for all? All help appreciated. Ashley

Hi everyone, I have been asked to create a hardware independent Windows7 image for our desktops and laptops. Does anybody have any insight into the best way to do this and the best practice etc.. I know about WIM files and apparently Ghost can create hardware independent images these days. How? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Ashley
