Jorg,
Take a look at what you can do with MacOS X Server:
http://www.apple.com/server/desktop_management.html
You may find the sections on
"Workgroup Manager",
http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/workgroup_management.html
"NetBoot" http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/netboot.html
and
"Network Install" http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/netboot.html
to be of particular interest.

Dear Colleagues:
Does anybody have a good idea or application that would work for "ghosting"
a Mac OS X lab?
So far we have been storing a pristine image of our computers on an external
harddrive, and that's very unwieldy, so I am looking for a way to clean and
refresh (or update) machines without re-installing operating system and contents
one-by-one.
I know there is ghosting available for Windows machines, but have not been
able to find similar mechanisms for an OS X lab.
Any info will be highly appreciated.
Best regards from Jorg
