I'm having an issue here.

First, when I try to remotely install the client it failed, so I followed these steps and manually installed the client using the client.msi in the Ghost root. It successfully installed. I specified for the client to look for the server that has the Console installed. It was not able to see the console.

I went back to the Console and the client did not show up under default. I was curious, so I re-ran the remote client install on the machine in question. It ran successfully and provided the client with the proper pointer, but it did not add it to default and the client says it is still trying to locate the server (however the server was more accurately specified after the remote installation.

I don't have any firewalls on the client machine currently.
I have turned off Simple File Sharing (it is an XP machine, fully up to date)
The administrator account (mine) on the client is password protected

Why is this machine, or any other new install actually, not showing up on my Console? The people who originally set up this configuration are no longer with the company. There is one other server that is still seeing the Console and the console populates it in Default, but no new installations are showing.

 

Help? :O
