RIS and Ghost

[Uraken]

Hi all i have a ris server set up on which i want to be able to load a universal network boot disk and map a drive to a ghost image and be able to load it on to a bare machine via PXE has anyone any knowledge on this?

 

Symantec suggest doing it using ghsot cast server but its over complicated, i looked at partimage is not ghost but could not get the drive mapping to work i desperately want to have a way of distrubuting an image to our machines.

thanks in advance

This is dated info but you can use the same methods to create a ghost boot image.

Sorry I misread your original question twice due to my bad head and omitted to include the link thats not relevant anyway

Last time I used Ghost, there was complete instructions on doing this in the manual.

Ghost Casting is really simple. What your trying to do sounds more complex. If you want a hand with ghost casting just send me a pm and I'd be happy to talk you through. :-)
