Hi all - we are currently using an aging (and failing!) PXE server in
conjunction with Ghost to deploy our desktop & laptop images for new
builds.

I want a solution whereby i only need one base image for laptops and
one for desktops, which i know i can achieve using Acronis using the
universal restore add-on.

However, can you also integrate Windows deployement services with
acronis images? or does WDS only like certain types of images?

Any help appreciated !

thanks, colin.

Best place to ask, Colin, is the Acronis support forum:

Hope this helps!

You should consider WIN PE via the WAIK.
