    Does anybody know if you can copy/clone another computer in SLD? So you don’t have to go in and look and see what all software they had installed and re-add it all. I know there is a reset which will reinstall everything on that system which is perfect if you only replaced a HDD but if you plan on replacing the entire computer it would be allot quicker if I could just copy and paste. Hope I made that clear enough lol.

    haven't heard that name in years.  but having since used DS 6.9, 7.0 and 7.1, there's still one thing livestate does that these new ones don't, and i think it's pretty darn handy:  the ICON for each PC acts as a status indicator to show whether it's imaging (little CD), is installing software (little fdd), has an error (red lightning bolt), or is online or not.  in DS 6.9, you only have online/offline, and in 7.x you're lucky if you can even get an online status, nevermind anything else.  

     

    to answer your original question, no, i don't think you can clone PCs.  i never had reliable results using reset on them anyway, since jobs often changed, and the reset didn't take that into account.
