Possible to ghost machines already booted into windows?

Greetings,
I have a question. I have quite a bit of Dell machines(Precision 340s
running Win2000) that i lined up on my computer table at my company.
They can log into the network no problem and are turned on and ready at
the windows logon screen for login. It seems that creating ghost
boot disks/CDs to put in each of the machines is not efficient. I was
wondering if ghost software can be installed on my personal
workstation(admin computer) to activate the ghosting of those Dell
machines directing the image for each to be created on a server that
already exists on the network. Maybe just listing the IP of each
machine in ghost to create an image of each Dell machine on the
network. Is this possible with Ghost? Thank you for your help.

Look into the symantec Live State product. Its based on Ghost and can
recover machines to dissimilar hardware with ease. You can find more
information on http://www.symantec.com

Thanks
