Their "recommendation" is something that I was doing with businesses for years. A Ghost image would be on the server, if a system was screwed up, they simply booted from a bootdisk that I supplied them with... the disk would connect the machine to the network, gain access to the ghost image and reload the computer in about 5 minutes. The one time when they had a virus flying around the workstations, all I did was boot each of the 25 machines from the disk and do a check on the server and all was good as new in about an hour.
