<p>Feel free to send me your comments about these programs or some additions.</p>

<p>Also have a look at the <a
href="http://www.ltsp.org/contrib/diskless-windows-howto.htm">&quot;Diskless Windows
Cookbook &quot;</a> in the <a href="http://www.ltsp.org/contrib/">LTSP Contrib Area</a>.</p>

<p><small>From this list I have only used the W2K-TFTP once for a customer with the <a
href="http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/mba.htm">3Com MBA Utility Disk</a>, while
it can be used as well with <a href="http://etherboot.sourceforge.net">Etherboot</a>
tagged images for other NIC brands.</small><br>
<small>The solution used a netbooted DOS with MS Client 3.0 to easily restore disk images
with <a href="http://www.ghost.com/">Symantec Ghost</a> (see <a
href="http://appdeploy.com/tools/imaging.shtml">appdeploy.com</a> for similar tools).</small><br>
<small>Sure there are several possibilities to do this with Linux but for cloning NT4/W2K
the NTFS support is rather experimental and automatically changing the SID is another
issue.</small></p>

<h4>TFTP Servers:</h4>

<p>In Autumn 2000 i tested some different TFTP servers and found out that most of them do
not install/run as a service, especially under W2K. 

<ul>
  <li>TFTP server included with Windows 2000 (remote installation services need to be
    installed)<br>
    The path for the images has to be specified via registry:<br>
