Why Use a DOS TCPIP Bootdisk for Ghosting to a Workstation/NT/2000 Server Ghosting a workstation is a time effective way to image workstations, reloading all the required software in a matter of minutes. The process or creating (dumping) Ghost images takes some time to create but the benefits of doing this are that if a computer fails or is tampered with and therefore inoperable the full software can be reloaded in a matter of minutes. This bootdisk is designed to connect to a Windows NT Domain or workstation using the most common workstation dos ethernet driver 82652et. The reason why you might like to use a dos/tcpip boot disk to image a file is that you may find using the Ghost multicasting a drag on your network performance. Using a tcpip boot disk to boot to the network means that you do not have to store the Ghost Image files on a local workstation harddisk but can store them on a server where all Ghost images can be backed up. For instance, your hard disk may fail so therefore you would lost the Ghost image associated with that workstation. Associated with these instructions is a self extracting executable which will create the tcpip boot disk. Download this file and then read the rest of these instructions. Download the DOS TCP IP Bootdisk for 82562 Network Card AUTOEXEC.BAT There is one line in the autoexec.bat file you will need to modify in order to use it on you domain. net use z: \\MSEASRVR\Clients * Change MSEASRVR to your server name I would also create a user to be used just for ghosting ie Ghostusr and then give this user access to only the clients directory or whichever directory you would like to dump to and clone the images from. It is not recommended that you use the administrator account for the purposes of using it on the ghost boot disk. ******************************************************************** OR Download the Ghost.exe file from the Moree SEA Web Site PLACE THE GHOST.EXE FILE INTO A SHARED DIRECTORY ON YOUR SERVER OR A WORKSTATION Copy the ghost.exe file from the C:\Program Files\Symantec\Ghost
directory into your shared directory which is going to contain the
images ie z: \\MSEASRVR\Clients. z:\GHOST -CLONE,mode=load,src=z:\Stu.gho,dst=1 -NTIL or z:\GHOST -CLONE,mode=load,src=e:\AcrPwr.gho,dst=1 -NTIL -NTIID -QUIET -sure NOTE: The -NTIL switch will allow Windows XP partitions to be ghosted Create a image for each type of workstations that is at your school.
I would suggest you create separate batch files for each type of workstation
image you would like to capture. For instance call a batch file Optdump.bat,
IBMdump.bat or some other meaningful name. z:\ghost -clone,mode=dump,src=1,dst=z:\Stu.gho -NTIL NOTE: The -NTIL switch will allow Windows XP partitions to be ghosted z:\ghost -clone,mode=dump,src=1,dst=Z:\AcrPwr.gho -Z9 -NTIL -NTIID -QUIET -sure -rb -split=600 -autoname Note: the -split command will split your image into 600mb chunks which makes it suitable for use if you have an image you would ghost from a CD. I would suggestion that you create a batch file for each type of
workstation image that you can apply ie OptCopy.bat, IBMCopy.bat or
some other meaningful name. Copy a ghost image to a workstation only
if it was created for the exact model computer you are copying the
image to. Examples Batch Files are in the directory a:\examples Go to www.google.com.au and search for the network card model ie 3c905b dos driver. Download the driver and read the documentation. You will need to modify the a:\net\protocol.ini file netcard, drivername and bindings command line ie netcard=E100B_NIF,1,E100B_NIF,1 DRIVERNAME = E100B$ BINDINGS=E100B_NIF |
