I've created a WinPE boot disk from Symantec ghost Suite 2.5
I'm trying to get to load from a HP DL580 & 380 G9
I installed only the network drivers and raid controller drivers needed. I even checked using msinfo32.exe command and verified but for some reason it seems its not detecting the storage controller drivers.
Any reason why this maybe. See attachment.
Hi - does the version of adksetup matter? Is so, which is the best? I have v1511, v1607, and v1703.
Thanks and have a happy new year.
Can someone please help me with the attached error log?
I am getting this error
Trying to make an image of a Windows 8.1 system. A few seconds into the process, Ghost gives me an Application error 31002 "Unable to access Linux partition 5"
GhostCast server version 12.0.0.10520
Just register to share some experience to:
https://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/ghost-11-i...
I had exactly the same issue while while opening my .gho with ghost explorer(even with 2017 verssion)
NTFS/HPFS
and no file/direcory listed (even with 2017 verssion)! In fact I register for the trialware of Ghost Solutiion Suite, but frankly speaking it is a corperate soltuion thus far to complex/complicate for this single task.
Finally I get my files back by following method:
* Make a partition at a extenal disk with NTFS or extFAT format. Maybe works also HPFS(MacOSx format)
* Use ghost to deploy the .gho image to that partition.
* Use any HDD recovery software to view the HDD
* All the files then be visiable and can be copied to another location.
(Yet, this is restrict to documents, e.g. PHD thesis and experiment data :-), not a preinstalled softwares)
Hope this experience could be helpful to someone.
Hello,
We're using GSS 3.2 and we would like to know some things:
- How to define when Symantec DAgent collect and send inventory information to server
- If is it possible to collect custom information (executing an script, reading the registry, etc.)
Our idea is to create some dashboard (probably querying eXpress DB) with useful information about our desktop environments.
Thanks.
We recently upgraded from 3.1 mp6 to 3.2 RU4
Everything seemed to be working until we went to launch PXE Manager to change the WINPE
We got an error message saying it coudlnt connect to PXE Manager - tried all suggestions (edit pxe.ini tried removeding lock lines , changing DSKey)
In the end we had to unsintall and reinstall PXE Manager. This is now working and we built a new WINPE
Problem is now when we trying imaging the PC boots into WINPE but then will not connect to the image session - Ghost64.exe doesnt launch and the PC reboots.
In the console it says failed - "unable to locate executable file for image tool symantec ghost"
ive reinstalled the the 3.2 RU4 standard tools to the correct location, rebuilt WinPE (3 seperate ones) checked the PXE.ini , PXEManager.ini and RPC.ini
Im at a loss now and not sure what to try next - any advice would be much appreciated
Thanks
Just connected and no threads!
Something wrong here.
:-(
Hello
I'm currently trying to upgrade our Ghost Solution Server from version 3.1 MP3 to 3.2 RU4. I downloaded the installation file from fileconnect, but after extracting and running the setup.exe it only gives me the option to do a clean installation without any option to upgrade.
So i had a look into the Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 3.2 Installation and Upgrade guide. It only gives explanation for a silent install, which doesn't work at the moment. When I open a command prompt described on page 62 and enter axinstall.exe -i, it only opens the installation gui instead of creating a silent.ini which is needed for further process. Maybe the silent.ini will be created at another location than the setup folder?
Any idea?
Best regards

So besides the forums being wiped clean, has anyone successfully downloaded RU5 for GSS 3.2?
I also didn't this defect added to the release notes - https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH248197.html. Was this defect fixed in RU5?
Hi,
i am using ghostcast server 11.5.1.2266 on a windows 2012 server to image and restore different types of computers.
The problem is that sometimes, the restore freezes for few minutes then resumes. after some minutes it ll freeze again for few minutes then continue, and so on. The restore always works in the end, but instead of taking 20 minutes, then it can take more than one hour.
i read that it could be related to IGMP, i enabled IGMP on my switch i still have the same behavior.
How can i fix this?

GSS version: 3.2
Host OS: Windows Server 2012 R2
Deployment job not completing due to an error taking place in transfering a configuration information file to client.
The image being deployed is a vanila Windows 10 x64, that was created from the same computer earlier. Testing creating and deploying of Windows 10 images.
Attached screenshot showing the error, with 1 attempted rescheduling of failed task.
What could be the possible causes to why the configuration part of deploying the image is failing to transfer the required configuration information file in order to complete the job?
Been running into this problem continiously when trying to use ghost. It never works.
GSS 3.2 RU 5, WinPE 10 for build 1709, using Sysprep option and SAME KEY
"we found a windows 10 pro digital license for this device running windows 10 pro, to activate using this digital license you need to install windows 10 pro"
Pretty worthless error, and it refuses to activate with our volume license key. What gives?
Troubleshooting activation does nothing but return the above message. After re-entering the same key it returns "Unable to reach Windows activation servers"
It's 2018 now, I am curious as to those that have installed MSSQL 2008r2 and wished they went to MSSQL2014. What do you think ? 2008 or 2014? We are going to install Ghost Solution Suite 3.2 on a virtual machine. The amount of clients we will have is 20000 devices. We have 50 buildings all connected via WAN connections. Each building will have a server to deploy the images at. Any thoughts, concerns, tips, helpful ideas would be appreciated.
Hello Comunity,
Right now when I use the USB to boot the laptop the ghost automatic script is unable to load the drivers it keeps saying restarting DHCP client (Check attached picture)
Your help is much appreciated.
2 to 3% of our managed computers do not report Active Directory OU under Network Configuration. Its a grouping of Windows 7 and 10 workstations, they are in the domain, have been in the field or freshly rebuilt, etc.
So my question is, what does the DAgent use to gather this information? A COM call / LDAP call? If so, what account is it using to get that information?
Hi - I would like to use my ghost software to create a backup image of my Ghost server machine before I upgrade to v3.2.
Server is Windows 2008 R2 Sp1 x64 and Ghost is v3.1 MP6.
I tried booting from a Windows 10 PE (I think it's called) USB that I had but of course the Ghost executable was on the network drive so was unavailable. I found the Ghost executable on the server but when I ran that and asked to create an image I got an error about a file on the server being open or in use (can't remember error exactly). I didn't feel comfortable going further so exited.
Apparently I need to have the ghost executable available on the USB. How do I do this?
Thanks
