Hey Now!
Ghost 7.5 Enterprise edition.
I trying to ghost 20 machines using DOSGHSRV (the dos version of Ghost). The machines connect. I see 10.10.10.xx mac address for for all the machines. I mash the any key and the process begins. When it finishes, the server (the PC I ran DOSGHSRV on) reports 10.10.10.xx success for SOME of the machines not all and then just hangs or sometimes reports a GPF. The clients still have the Blue ghost status screen. When I reboot the the clients all is well, they did in fact ghost.

Anybody seen this? Anybody use DOSGHSRV? It works just fine if I fire up the Windows version

uhh, no. I once used quite extensively, and never encountered that behavior. but i get the impression that it is working, so is there a problem, or no??

sounds like there was some fruitcake problem that fixed itself and he wanted to know why. When that happens to me i am just happy and shut up about it 8)

The windows version of ghost works fine. It's the DOS version that doesn't work properly. I would prefer to use the DOS version so I could more fully automate the ghosting process

i had ghost, but couldn't figure out how to use it heh.. and i didn't really need to learn, so i just use partition magic.
