We've used both Imagecast and Norton Ghost. I could get 40-50 of the machines that were homogenous to the model machine to accept the image and work fine. The others, would freeze during the image download or not even show in the control panel that they were connecting.
I have a simple network and yet tech support on both sides seemed stumped. Perhaps, with everyone's expertise here, we can figure out the problem? -----Original Message----- From: Ed Esgro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 9:02 AM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: RE: The best way.... WOW! You have to be the first person I have heard that had problems with Ghost. It is next to the screwdriver on the list of tools that I use and most other admins I know. Sorry to hear that. -----Original Message----- From: Shields, Anthony [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 8:57 AM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: RE: The best way.... Good luck with ghost. I bought a site license and have yet to get it to ghost ALL 250 machines... They claim adapter problems/etc... -----Original Message----- From: Ed Esgro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 8:46 AM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: RE: The best way.... Ghost will work, but I would suggest taking at least one of the computers, rebuild it completely from scratch, make this computer your model computer. Install all apps, Service Packs, etc. Don't add it to the domain. Then ghost it. After you ghost all of the other computers, walk the SID on all of the machines and rename the computers, then fire them up and add them to the domain. Or you could fire them up and rename them in Windows. Ghost has a limitation with renaming computers. The character set has to be exactly the same. -----Original Message----- From: C.Rajagopalan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 1:45 AM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: The best way.... Hi ! We need to upgrade about 30 client machines in our Division having following config: Existing Config: 64 MB RAM, 4 GB HDD To be upgraded to: 256 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD Rest all, including the Apps, Users, etc. should remain the same in each machine. At the end of the upgradation, there will be only one 40 GB HDD in each. All clients currently run Win 2K SP2. Which is the best way to go about this upgradation, WITHOUT the full re-install of the OS ? Any case studies, experiences, pitfalls, software to accomplish this would be most useful. Thanks in advance.
