How to Push Norton Ghost Images

Thanks for the information, I'm pretty sure I will post back here shortly for questions on multi NIC bootable CD. Did not have a lot of time to work on that issue yet.

Thanks in advance.

Apparently pushing ghost images hogs most of the bandwidth. I've tried putting the server and client on a different subnet but still the entire company experience a slow network connection. I've also decrease the throughput on Ghost to 50mb/min but then it will take roughly an 1:30 hrs to complete the process and complaints were still coming in. Does anyone know how to overcome this?

That'll be right, you get everything right at last and someone complains. :/

Anyway, I wonder if you could save locally or to another harddrive (ie external USB drive)
And then copy the images across the network.

Maybe your router is not fast enough.

Actually we don't know anything about your network ! Hardware and Software (are you using Server software?)

This is done on a windows XP machine where I have 'ghost cast server' installed which allows me to create & push images across the network and is also where I have the images stored.

I can save the images locally on to a ext USB HD but then I would only be able to push the image to one client at a time.

tuant we're up to post #25, and I'm asking you for your hardware setup, and I'm also concerned about the amount of info ever escalating, but here we go.

Ethernet?
Wireless?
Other clients?
Server?
Other OS (on clients)
Network settings?
Router?
Modem?
Firewall? (hardware or software)
How many users?

Actually drawing a layout is ideal, I tell you what I'll post one that you can edit. (hang on... Done!)
Here post ipconfig too, this command will put it on your Desktop for you.
Start --> Run--> cmd /c ipconfig /all >Desktop\ipconfig.txt <OK>

I suppose I'll wait. :zzz: (joke)

this is frustrating, lol. No mattr what I do, the network lags everytime I am pushing an image. What I don't understand is there are daily backups that go on everyday and the network is fine while that is going on.

Symantec says the following should happen under Idealconditions.

I have it connected to a 100Mbps, I was able to reach 630 mb/min. Haven't tried it on a gigabit network before.

Sorry for the delay response. I simply isolated the network. Now ghosting is done on a completely isolate switch not connected to the cooperate. Thanks for everyone's help

That's a good idea
Thanks for the update
