I've used a product called Ghost that will 1) make and save disk images, 2)
allow those images to be written to a disk with different partition sizes,
etc. than the original, and 3) be used over a network. The only downside
I've seen (unless they have changed their policy in the last year or so) is
that it is sold on a 100 user license that cost about $750 or so. I managed
to buy a 50 user license at half the cost after I explained that we were
doing a one shot transfer to set up some machines. A good product!
