TSM can be used as a BMR tool, but it does require some scripting,
particularly if you have clients aside from Windows 2000/2003.

The available BMR packages that I'm aware of either perform poorly, or
are rather expensive. Why buy additional software when TSM can do the
work, with a little before-DR work on the part of the administrator?
