Imaging New PCs


Recommended Posts

I'm using GhostCast Server 8 and 2k Server to do PXE boots, but I still have to plug in a monitor & keyboard, hit F12, F12, Enter, login, Enter, select from RIS menu, Enter, Enter, Enter.

Is there a way I can just plug them all in, and use WOL to PXE boot them all for me so I don't have to touch the PCs? I have to do 75 at once sometimes.

How are you all doing this?

Thanks all!

Not really an option, financially. My company already owns Ghost. Right now I'm using the RIS option of the Ghost Boot Wizard. Should I be using 3Com boot services instead of RIS to do the automation I want?

Please, direct me to a more appropriate place to discuss this, if one exists. Thanks!

I have a HD duplicating machine in my shop. Much easier than Ghost. [we used to use Ghost in the past] But when we were using Ghost, I had a boot floppy setup with switches to do everything what I wanted so there was no intervention. I can't recall exactly what process I was doing as it was 5 years ago [i know I had a DHCP server setup and I wanna say some networking boot service as well]
