Browsing through the vidios here I came across this and first thought it might be just another a boring presentation, but in fact it's a very interesting piece about Dell's server deployment that I really think other network admins shoudl take a look. If you manage a dozen of more servers in a data center for example, you could just ship a new server and have somone rack it and do the rest remotely. This would be much more efficient than loading evrything from scratch with Dell's Server Assist. I'll hve to try this on my next server roll-out and also see how much it adds to the server's price point.

(PS. I also found this demo vdeo of Dell's Unified Server Configurator helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbxn4VTj37M)
