Now the crazy thing is logging in on the web interface does not count as a login. You have to setup a domain in SME FIRST, then connect a client PC to the workgroup/domain. Then you login as the user. ie, the user will be unlocked. Or you can undo it the easier way and unlock the user in web admin. The first way works 100% of the time. I get mixed results with unlocking from web admin. @Thorbjoern, Remember to reset the user password on the web admin screen.

Admin login works perfect but whenever I want to login as a regular user I get a (different) second authentication screen which refuses to accept the username and password. Grateful for any help!

And also you didn't mention how you generate SID, hostname, workgroup/domain, etc. which is very essentials to deploy large scale Windows. Also, how SME Server stack up against Clonezilla Server Edition ? But really, this is very interesting article!

What is the difference between your solution and having a router with Boot DHCP configured? Then you can use Norton Ghost, Acronis TrueImage, etc. to get the image from any computer in the LAN. Besides, NetBootDisk has to deal with every wired/wireless NIC. What about differents HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer)? Thanks in advance! Ray, sorry for my ignorance…
