Hi,

Are there any software that is similiar to Norton Ghost for MAC? Create an image then push it down to all the clients through network. I come across carbon copy cloner but it dont seems to support cloning through network.

The OS X version is 10.4.5
Thanks.

Ok thanks.

I read up abit on ARD. Can it push an entire OS X image in a package or just some software update, and applications?

u can do firewire daisy chain. with 10-15 mac chain up at the same time.
CCC the master to all the mounted drives.

but this its still manually done. i will try check around if there's anyway to do it faster.
