      oximoron?

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

          Interesting - this tells me that people aren't applying updates as part of their imaging process. When I image a machine I always apply first the vender's updates (looking at BIOS in particular) and then Windows updates before doing anything else.

            I strongly suspect you're right - I've seen a lot of places just stick with the original base image they created when the machines were new, then live with the multiple reboots and downtime while they get updated. And probably infected. :sigh:
