XP Lab

[bob]

Im going to be implementing a new XP lab of 30 computers.
I want to setup one computer with all the software,
drivers, and users and then ghost the hd's.

Question:

Should i setup the admin account and one user account for
the computer and then replicate the HD's? If so is there
a advantage or disadvantage of using just one user account
for all 30 computers? (example: all 30 computers login to
the network as user). I Know that i will have to rename
all to computers after i replicate the hd's before i can
put the computers into the domain. I have a windows 2000
server network.

Any help would be greatly appreicated,

Bob

I see no particular advantage or disadvantage to having the same admin
and user accounts on all the workstations; just be sure you use sysprep
to ensure that each workstation gets a unique SID after cloning.
