Ghost Imaging?

[Guest]

HI Everyone,

I know probably it is not the right place to ask this question, but since I
am ghosting Windows XP image, so I ask anyway.

I am trying to create a norton ghost network boot up CD, so I can ghost the
image to and from our server. I have used a customized ghost boot up CD, and
use the "net use" command to map the network drive and then run the
ghost.exe, then create or install from a ghost image.

I tried to use the "Advanced utilities" from Norton Ghost 2003 to create a
boot up disk, but it can only create a floppy disk rather than CD, also, what
it does is a bit different to what i used before, you have to define which
server you want to connect to when you create the boot up disk. I want to
create a boot up disk, then when boot up from it, I then decide which server
to connect to.

Anyone knows how to do it?

Thanks

You don't want to Ghost to a production server and you don't want tio Ghost accross a
populated LAN. The reason is too much traffic and server resources. If you do Ghost to a
Server it should dedicated for Ghost images and it should be on a separate LAN that is
separated via a Ethernet switch from the rest of the network.

If this is an Office environment then you should be using Symantec Enterprise Ghost (~$10.00
US per node).
