Symantec Ghostcast Server 115 Free Download 31
Sofie Kovalcheck
I'm installing Symantec Ghost Standard Tools 3.1. Where do I put the slf license file? I only use Ghostcast server. It tests fine with a single box, but I won't have time Saturday when I ghostcast an entire lab at once if it tells me it can't multicast or whatever because the license isn't activated.
Below is the process to add a user to the database for use with Ghost Solution Suite remote console configuration. Please see the Remote Console Setup guide if the remote console has not been setup and configured prior to following this document.
I would like to ask if Ghost32 11.5 software is a free license? I have downloaded a portable copy of it and I am confuse if it is a free license because my company prohibited on using a cracked software. Thanks for the answer. I hope you can enlighten me.
I have installed GSS 3.0 on windows server 2008 x64 and during Distribution Disk Image task clients fails with a status of "Unable to boot to automation". When I modify the task Automation pre-boot environment is set to Default Automation (Auto-select) and the advance button is grayed out. I then checked pre-boot operating systems install on server and see the following Pre-boot OS
booting from my old GSS 2.5-Server (3Com TFTP) works in most cases for me and is much, much, much, much faster than WinPE-Boot from GSS 3.2.
Now I had the idea to bring over that PC-Dos-Boot to my GSS 3.2 PXE-Server to have that option next to WinPE10-Boot in the menu.
During the days of the aclient, we could schedule migration jobs, to a new DS server, using an internal file copy function (destination = aclient.inp). Is this possible with the Altiris Deployment Agent?
I have to access old backups created using norton products. I cannot say 100% which version was used. I will list the products I have used and hopefully that is enough to help determine how I can access those images:
I received a boot stick with Ghost 11 from my predecessor for cloning my demo image. For the first boots two month ago everything wents fine, but now, when I boot from the USB stick, Windows PE starts and after a few seconds I get a blue screen with the message "Bugcode USB3 DRV".
We recently needed to image a large number of machines in a short amount of time. Anyone who has dealt with Altiris and use Ghost as their method of imaging know that Altiris wont by default Multicast the image and will instead push it out individually to each client that connects. So here is a little tip on getting your images pushed out via Multicast.
When you have created your imaging job, enter the properties of the imaging task and replace %IMAGE_FILENAME% to @MCSESSION with SESSION being the name of the GhostCast session we will create in the next step.
Now that we have configured the job to tell Ghost to connect to our GhostCast session it is time to start up GhostCast (which can be found under \Ghost\GhostSrv.exe). Once the window is open we can say that we are going to restore an image and now select the Ghost image that we want to restore (Usually under\Images\OperatingSystem\..) and now select Accept Clients. Now that we are ready to image, we can boot the computers we want to image into automation and run the imaging job we configured earlier to them. Click on the image to the right to see what your GhostCast window should look like.
Now you will see once they have booted up and started the modified imaging job that they will be at the Symantec Ghost screen waiting for a GhostCast session to start. We now simply need to go into GhostCast and start sending out the image. You can see that all of the clients have also appearing in our GhostCast window.
Open up a dos console with administrative privileges and navigate to the Backup Exec installation folder (default c:\program files\symantec\backup exec\). When you are there run the following command:
This will cause backup Exec to register itself with LiveUpdate . After about 10 seconds you will get a message saying that it Successfully registered Backup Exec with LiveUpdate and set the mode to OptOut.
One of the more easier ways of speeding up your WinPE boot times via PXE are changing the default TFTP server which comes with Altiris. First of all, open up the PXE Configuration Manager and disable Multicast since the WinPE image cannot be transferred over Multicast anyway(only DOS supports Multicast via TFTP). This simple tweak shaves around a second off your PXE Boot time.
Now comes the good part. Open an elevated command prompt. The following is based on our Altiris setup, with it installed on D drive and me creating a folder under PXE for OpenTFTP and pasting the OpenTFTP executable and Settings file into that folder.
sc config "Altiris PXE MTFTP Server" binpath= "D:\Deployment Server\PXE\OpenTFTP\OpenTFTPServerMT.exe"
That will reconfigure the MTFTP service path that Altiris uses to push out files from the Altiris supplied MTFTP to our Open TFTP server. You can go into the Services control applet and start the Altiris MTFTP service to begin using the new executable.
If for any chance you want to return to the Altiris MTFTP server then you simply need to run the sc config command pointing to your Altiris PXE MTFTP executable so stop the service again and enter the following into an elevated command prompt making sure to match the path to your Altiris location:
