Being a teacher is nice once in a while...especially when 14 brand new iMac's showed up today. Here's my scenario...

Getting FCP and CS4 (site license for both programs)

Can I get one iMac loaded the way I want and all the programs installed like I want...and then clone the hard drive on an external hard drive and use that to copy to the other 13 iMac's?

This would save me a whole lot of time if it is possible.

Suggestions and solutions would be awesome. (and it would be great to have a cloned image to redo the machines at the end of each semester)

Thanks for reading

Assuming they have firewire they should be able to do firewire target disk mode. Then you could use something like Carbon Copy Cloner to image a completely setup machine to a disk image (via a laptop or one of the other machines) and then blow that disk image into the other 14 machines one by one.

Carbon Copy worked like a charm.
Thanks again for the help.
