When working with our core image for Windows 7 I found that restoring an image that has not been syspreped results in a boot error. You can go through the windows repair and let it try to "fix" the issue. Or you can simply use bcdedit to "reset" to boot information.

While in Vegas attending the last ManageFusion I actually found a little time to get out and see the sites and made a video. It includes Steve Morton attempting to juggle. To be fair it was dark. :)

The Altiris Software Developers Kit is FREE

After a recent user group meeting where our company did a presentation on using the ASDK, I discovered that most of those in attendance thought that Altiris still charged for the ASDK.

It's free. No Charge. It's for you to keep. Yes -- you still have a license agreement, but you can use it to automate your Altiris environment to your hearts content.
