Please Help: Ghost 8.2 Slows Network

[notaustin]

Can anyone help me?

I am trying to use the Symantec Ghost Console 8.2 in a Active Directory Domain but the rest of the network seems to be affected when the image is sent. I am trying to find some switches that I can use in the run command of the Ghost Server so the rest of the network is not affected.

I would greatly appreciate any help.

I think Ghost tries to use Multicast by default which is flooding your network. Look for a Unicast option.

I think jftuga is on the right track.

You could also create a separate deployment network or vLAN and deploy images over that, then switch the computer or server to the production LAN when your finished building it. This assumes though that you have managed switch capability.
