I have over 400 PCs that I used GSS 2.5.1 almost flawlessly on. Then I had 25% of them upgrade to windows 10, and I had to upgrade to GSS 3.x and everythig that was simple became very complicated.
PC's don't want to rename to their current name after reimaging just being one of the problems.
This particular issue is about a PC that needs to receive a new image, but I cannot make it happen.
Some prelim info:
1. This PC has the altiris agent, and the automation folder installed.
2. This image pushed to an identical PC without problem, on the same subnet. (All PCs are on the same subnet).
3. Both the problem PC and the other PC had the same previous image,before pushing this new image.
4. Because 1 identical PC was able to boot and reimage without problem, I know the boot disk and PXE boot are correct.
The problem:
1. I drag the restore job to the appropriate PC object in console.
2. Eventually, the Status (in console) shows "Downloading disk image..."
3. When I check the "Status Detail" I see:
Status Time Status Code Module
i Booting to Automation {current time stamp} blank Deploy Server
i Downloading disk image... {current time stamp} blank Deploy Server
X {current time stamp} 1 User Defined
i Downloading disk image... {current time stamp} blank Deploy Server
X {current time stamp} 1 User Defined
i Downloading disk image... {current time stamp} blank Deploy Server
X {current time stamp} 1 User Defined
i Downloading disk image... {current time stamp} blank Deploy Server
X {current time stamp} 1 User Defined
This continues every ~16 seconds, and nothing ever happens. I let this go since last Friday Morning, and it was still going like this today (Monday morning) before i stopped it.
To recap:
The PCs are exactly the same HW.
The PCs had the same previous image, so they are exactly the same SW.
The PCs are on the same network/subnet.
One PC connected, reimaged fine. This PC gets stuck in the above "Downloading disk imagge..." / Red "X" status 1 loop.
Any advice or suggestions?
Thank you,
