Question 2K rollout tools.

When planning to design, rollout and support a large Win2K solution based around 2K Server with 500 or so users on 2KPro desktops with access to file&Print ad e-mail, which Planning, Automation and Monitoring tools are there available to help with the process.

For instance for exchange2K i would use Loadsim/medusa to plan the hardware specificaton of the server i needed, but what about automated deployment of the desktops etc.

Can anyone help ?

You can use Remote Installation Services from Advanced Server to do the rollout.

OK, so Loadsim to plan the Hardware and RIS to deploy the desktop O/S.
What about monitoring the system after rollout?
And are there any tools to help deploy/create Active directory?

Thanks

think you have to apply Active Directory at the machine itself.
