Unix sysadmin, specialising in virtualisation (VMware Server, Xen, and KVM for servers; VMware Workstation and VirtualBox for desktops).
Experience with GNU/Linux (Debian and Ubuntu), OpenBSD, and (sometimes) FreeBSD and Solaris. In a previous life, I also had experience with Windows Server 2003 and Citrix.

What can I use to automate the installation of necessary software for a new PC? Don't forget to run SysPrep on the master system before you create its image with Ghost! I think enterprise versions can do the SysPrep for you automatically, but the consumer version definitely doesn't. |

Restricting the size of Outlook pst files It's possible to make Exchange not drop incoming mail when the quota is full, but simply disallow the user to send any emails until the mailbox is below quota. |

What is your recommended disk cloning tool? @trent: Read the link at the bottom of my post. It has a table about a quarter of the way through the page, with entries like, e.g., /dev/sda1 => \device\harddisk0\partition1 |

What is your recommended disk cloning tool? The OP asked for a command-line capable tool. You could suggest parted instead of gparted, however. :-) |

GTK applications fail to start - xfs restart needed Options Restarting it makes it reload the fonts (and more importantly, the font path). It may be that the list of available fonts is different when your system first starts up. |

Citrix login performance Some people have this habit of saving their files to the desktop, which is part of the profile. So, the other part of this solution is to encourage everyone to save things to their home directory. Firefox's default of saving downloaded files to the desktop is a Very Bad Thing. |
