Re: Capturing Windows 2003 Server Image
I have seen this before. For some reason, the firewall isn't enabled by default for new Windows 2003 installations and the firewall services aren't running. Enable the firewall via the Control Panel. Make sure TCP port 22 is open and that SSH is still working and then restart the capture process. Don't rerun 'vcld -setup' once you have run it once for a given base image because it will result in extra unnecessary image entries in the database. Instead, manually change the request table in the database. Find the imaging request that was created by 'vcld -setup'. The request.state value will be 10 (maintenance) and request.laststate will be 16 (image). change request.state to 16 and the normal running vcld process will restart the capture. -Andy On Tue, Dec 27, 2011 at 3:11 PM, Evelio Quiros evq...@fiu.edu wrote: Hello, Happy New Year to you all.

Re: Capturing Windows 2003 Server Image
That was it ! Thank you. Windows 2003 Server was successfully captured. I would not have thought that the Windows Firewall was an issue.
