Alternatives to Faronics Deepfreeze

Hello everybody,
I am setting up 20 multi user systems and need a repair and restore app that will erase any installed programs, malware, or changes to the desktop to create the same experience for my users. The program must restore the designed settings but allow some users to edit network drive files based on user permissions on Windows Server 2003. The only program I know that does this is Faronics Deepfreeze. However, I have not used this program since 2003 and do not know if this is the best for the job or if there are cheaper alternatives or possibly freeware.
if you know of any comparative programs please let me know.
Thanks.

Having not used it since 2003 is not a reason to avoid it. It has been updated, but a degree in rocket science is still not a prerequisite and it is still the best.

Norton GoBack is OK, but it's not free.

Thanks for the info. Its not that im avoiding the program but since then there may be competitors that I am unaware of that may do a better job. In fact I am still leaning towards Deepfreeze because of how easy it was to use previously.

I've actually used that Rollback app, and it worked pretty well. And it was easy to figure out.
