Norton Ghost 2003

Does anyone have experience with Ghost 2003?

I'm going to be purchasing and rolling out 24 new workstations and was thinking this might be a big help in setting up the different configurations we'll be using.

Any comments?

Haven't used 2003, but I love the 2002 version. I use it to roll out workstations all the time.

Depending on what OS you are using will depend on how you do your rollouts. Give a bit more info please.

There are a couple ways you could do this:

1) Create a template machine for each configuration. Make a ghost image of it and have it run sysprep on the image. Sysprep will rip out the hardware info as well as the key code. If you have a corp key and the hardware is all the same you won't need to run sysprep. Then push that image to the necessary number of clients.

2) Make 1 install of XP and create an image of it. As above if you don't have a corp key or the hardware is different, you will need to use sysprep first. This image should include any common software that all 3 groups will have access to. Next create install packages for the rest of the software. Puch the ghost image to all 24 machines. Put each machine in the respective group and then use ghost to install the necessary software on each machine.

If you have any questions, let me know.

If you play any online or networked games, dont run ghost. Norton secretly installed it (2003). And I dint notice. When I played a MP game, it would ghost everyones data being sent to my computer. 15 min later. boom. Took me a couple a days to figure out what was happening and disable it.

Thanks for the advice hrdwareguy. Seems pretty straight forward, I'll know for sure in a week or two.

If your gonna have that many stations ghost enterprise edition would probably work better for you. Works way better for creating images across a network.

Bull

Utter Bull.

Symantec (not Norton) didn't install anything to your system.

There are no secret installs and no automating or any kind of process to ghost data via a MP session within Ghost.

What possible purpose would that serve ?
