Hi Connect admins Would be great if we can have threaded reply (same as Office 2013) So we can see replies from other members too   Currently when we click on reply it navigates to new page with only recipient and text window for us to reply.

adeconnect posted: Ghost casting
I am using Symantec ghost casting to deploy an image to several identical windows 7 workstations over the network. When I push the image from the server to one workstation, it takes 30 minutes. But when I go over one station say two or three, it takes over an hour. I know I am using a lot of bandwith, I don't think it should take that long. Anyone has a solution?   Thanks Adeconnet
