  • 1.  Ghost 11.0.1 to image all of our computers

    Posted Jul 02, 2009 04:25 PM
    Our company has a corporate license of  Ghost 11.0.1 every since it was Power Quest, and I am using it to deploy hundreds of computers.
    I have created an NT environment using Bart PE, and have installed our corporate Ghost32 on it.
    The process is simple, run Ghost32.exe and load the image from the USB hard drive.

    It is my understanding that I need to generate a new SID (security ID or system ID) for each XP computer
    It is absolutely imperative that when resetting the SID I do not change any other settings on the computer; I have tried using SysPrep, but it erased user profiles and changed startup programs.
    The computers I am working on are used for oil and gas acquisition systems and the operating system absolutely cannot be changed from the original machine.
    Will you please help me find a quick way to reset the SID (either before or during Bart PE) that will not change any other settings?
    Thanks for your help.

    You can run ghost walker (ghwalker or ghwalk32) to change SID on the computer after image restore op. Please consult ghost implementation guide on usage. Using walker is very straight forward.

    Hope this helps.

    Microsoft has made a program NewSID found at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897418.aspx
    If we did not have Ghost Walker, would that work?

    Excellent, you both have been very helpful.
    I am going to use our copy of Ghost and NewSID.
    So far I have not run into any problems.

    As far as I know, there is no bootable Norton Ghost Version, except the Version made by the Norton Ghost Boot Wizard to make bootable media. Therefor my question.
    If you purchased the Full-Version, then please look at your vendors driver site and download VISTA driver if you want to use WinPE.

    greetings
