Hello All,
This post may be out of place because it may have nothing to do with WinPE. However, I'm sure people using PE for Ghost deployment have run into a similar situation as mine. Any help is appreciated:
I'm having trouble getting multicast to work with Symantec Ghost 11.
CLIENT:
I boot to PE 2.0 (stock wim with Ghost32.exe added), run ghost32.exe, select multicast, enter session name, choose automatic ip detection and yes to overwrite...
Server:
Running Server2003 with DHCP scope of 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.50 enabled.
Ghost server 11 -default settings running and accepting clients. I can see computers join the session but when i click send, the multicast hangs.
Has anybody had this problem? Could this be an issue with my switch? is there a multicasting setting on most switches? I don't deal with switches, routers or telephones so wouldn't know these answers. Should i have the multicast range entered as a scope on my server box?
anything would be great. thanks in advance.

Hello All,
I have been adding network drivers to a custom PE image for all of the systems supported by our infrastructure. The idea is to use the custom build disk to connect to a network location for automated master installations or ghost imaging. I have used the following script to inject network drivers to my image, as per Microsoft's documentation. I have been getting very unpredictable results -espeically with Dell systems, and since we run about 1200 Dells, this is a large problem.
After using the script, I get a message that the INF has been added to the image but when i test it and fire up an ipconfig i get this IP: 0.0.0.0. If i do a release renew, i then get a 169.x.x.x IP.
Any information somebody could provide which would remedy this problem would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Socky

Multicasting w/PE_2: SymantecGhost -Help!
in Windows PE

IcemaND,
Thanks for the input. I will fire up a Hub tomorrow to see if that may be the source of my trouble. will report my results.
bj-kaiser,
I will try your suggestion as well, but i have a question:
If your suggestion is the case (disabling the firewall), I will need it disabled each time i Boot a PC to WinPE. I will need a way to disable the firewall by default.
In PE 1, there was a /nowf switch required prior to compilation. Is there such a thing with winpe2 or should i add a line to PE2's startup script?
Thanks in adavnce.
