I want to create a WDS image (Windows Directory Service) but, if a computer has a virus is will WDS image overwrite the virus?

Asked by jeamrotae in MS System Center, Norton Ghost Backup Software

Tags:

I use ghost alot at my job but, I was thinking even though it takes more time often people about lossing their files. Windows claims that a WDS imaging does not format or do what ghost does but copies only over the original files so there will be no lost of data.

Usually I ghost machines with viruses b/c the job does not support anti virus programs expect the one that is one the images and the job thinks its too time consuming.  I want help people as much as I can so I try and think of different methods and imaging and saving their files is one.

Could I use WDS to reimage a virus affected computer?Start Free Trial
