Ok this is a little fun
I have 9 Macs in the showroom all with a 'showroom' account which we use to have all the demo content on there for people to play with, now its getting a complete pain trying to restore the accounts each time some one deletes all of the music of iTunes and all the photos out of iPhoto, we have locked most of the stuff down as much as we can but it kinda takes the joys of people coming into the shop and playing with the machines with out help. Now I know the Apple stores have a Xserve with a defualt disk images that restores all the machines overnight, is there a cheep easy option that will let us do that with out copying 50Gb of data via the migration assistant each weekend?
Ideally I'd like to be able to use ARD3 to do this just to copy click everything, I have tried to just do it the old fashioned way of copy paste over a network, but it mess' up the permissions and sometimes things just dont work.
I have available 10.4 Server, Machines, machines and more machines
All help very welcome and greatly appreciated.
