Here is something we could really use in our department.  Is there any
chance MIT can get it?  

Thanks,

"Microsoft offers NT Workstation prep tool
By InfoWorld Electric staff

Microsoft has released the first of a series of promised new Windows NT
Workstation migration tools, System Preparation Tool, which prepares PC
hard disks for duplication. Once the system is prepared, administrators can
use utilities such as Alteris RapiDeploy or Symantec's Norton Ghost or to
deploy NT Workstation on multiple systems. The tool, free for customers who
participate in Microsoft's Select or Enterprise licensing agreements, can
cut the time it takes to migrate existing Windows 95 desktops to NT
Workstation to "minutes per PC," Microsoft officials said."
