Question for fellow techs.

We are looking into finding some new imaging software. Right now we are using Altiris, but it's a little more than we need, and a little more cludgy than we would like.

Must be able to deploy hardware independent unattended OS installs.
Must be able to create and deploy .msi packages of various pieces of software.
Logging (specifically error) would be a huge bonus. In Altiris, if a job fails it just says error 99, at which point I have to keep myself from going Office Space on our deployment server.
Report logging would be great. Who is running what version of software x.

Any thing that you guys use would be appreciated. We are in the research phase currently and looking at all options. Also wouldn't hurt if this worked with OSX and iOS as well.
