Ghost - What you using...?

[acrobson]

HI all,

 

Not long til the Easter break now!

 

I have been looking at updating ghost, I have been using mainly version 8.0 for my image however decided to buy what I found to be now called 'Norton Ghost 14', the interface has totally changed and can I hell as find the ghost cast server and PXE ghosting options I like.

 

Can someone clarify for me that I have the right upgrade, surely there aren’t to 'Ghost' packages on the market, I usually keep up to date with ghost as I have carried out a lot of research and development work on them, especially version 7-8.

 

Have I missed something? I heard Norton were taking Symantec over a while back, but didn't expect things to change this much!

Isn't Ghost14 just for 'domestic' use?

Thats certainylt he impression that i have getting from the trial, it is totally rubbish from a professional perspective. Just with not 'keeping the finger on the pulse' so to speak, i am after some clarification and also to see what everyone else is using, i know a couple are using version 11, but not too sure what the latest version is out there.

 

Cheers, for that.

Symantec Ghost Solution Suite

Thats the boyo, just to confirm, does this support PXE migration with RIS etc?

The product which is for network ghosting is called 'Ghost Solution Suite 2.0' and uses Ghost 11 as the ghost server. It is licensed per client (we paid something like £1000 for our licenses for 200 machines). http://www.pugh.co.uk/Products/symantec/ghostsolutionsuite-2.htm

It does support PXE, but I don't use it and haven't looked at it yet.

 

Ghost 14 is the personal use product. It usually costs about £40 for a normal single user.
