Norton Ghost 8

I manage a windows server 2003 server that serves my network domain. Norton
Ghost 8 is installed on this server so that i am able to image my machines
through the network .... the ghost 8 program allowed me to network boot the
client machine to prepare it for ghosting .... recently i tried to ghost a
client machine and it would not network boot... I checked the network cabling
and everything works ... jus wanted to know .. how to find the information
on the Windows server that sends the boot infomation to the client
machine.... i think this boot information is called sysprep .... if anyone
know any information it would be greatly appreciated.

I am absolutely no expert in this field but you might want to check the
target machine to ensure that the BIOS is configured to Wake on LAN.

"In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason
backwards. That is a very useful accomplishment, and a
very easy one, but people do not practise it much. In the every-day affairs
of life it is more useful to reason forwards, and so
the other comes to be neglected. There are fifty who can reason
synthetically for one who can reason analytically." - Sherlock

No it is not Sysprep. Sysprep is what you run after the machine has been
freshly "built" using a stored image that allows you to rename the machine's
name and re-create the SID to avoid SID conflicts.

Some machines are just not capable of Network Booting,...or it just isn't
enabled.

Well these machine can do the network boot .... I did it before on the same
model machines and it went fine ..... so I am thinking that something went
wrong on the server ..... i don't remember how to configure the server so it
distributes the boot image to a machine that is requesting it .... this is
the problem i am having.
