Admin Image on Individual Workstation?

[handleman]

Maybe a crazy/stupid question, but can an individual (networked) workstation be used as a "server" for an administrative image install? We're getting ready to upgrade to new machines, and it would be handy to be able to use one of them as a "server" to install to the others so we can possibly avoid having to involve IS. We would probably use my machine so that when I download new SPs they can be rolled out to everyone. Is this possible?

Thanks

I would think that as long as the folder the image is in is shared, you'd be able to do it. No better way to find out than to try it.
This might help you out, too:

Thanks, Jeff!

I finally found the sentence I was looking for on the SW site:

You can install the administrative image from any computer on the network, <i>including a client computer</i>.
