The average time to run this program is approximately 60 seconds under normal conditions. PCRdist works best when all of the client machines for an image are of the same type and configuration. This is ensure that the drives found on the image are the correct ones for the target machine, and to ensure that the registry is configured properly. There are some times when there are keys in the registry that have to be ignored by PCRdist, as they are specific to each machine, or simply do not work after being copied down to the client machine. Due to the licensing structure of this software, it is not feasible for us to purchase a site license for this product.

RevRdist is a Macintosh application that compares a local Macintosh hard drive to an image located on a server. Basic tasks of this program are to remove files or applications that have been installed by a user, replace files or applications that have been removed or modified by a user, and return preferences back to a desired state. RevRdist can also be used to distribute software updates, and replace files infected with viruses. The specific behavior of RevRdist towards any file or set of files can be controlled with its distribution control file. The clients are asked to run this program each time they are finished with the machine.
