I am planning to migrate 100 computer from Win 2000 to Win XP.
My plan is to first make an Win XP image. Backup the user's profile onto a
network drive then Ghost the entire C: drive.
Then, I would put the new image on and restore the user profile.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thank you very much

They detail exactly how to upgrade a large network.

XP has to be installed on each computer. You cannot copy or image it
from one to the other. XP looks at the serial number of the CPU, and
chip set, as part of its security. It also needs to configure itself,
to exactly match the computer that it is going in to. It is easy to do
the upgrade, but an open license will be required for the number of
computers allowed.

WHAT? we imaged over 1000 pc's with the same image and we do about 4 to 5 a
day now.
