Ghost Solution Suite

I am really happy that Symantec decided to keep DS 6.9 alive (with new Name). I have been sucessfully using DS 6.9 for last 7 years in 15,000 multi-site enviornment. I am hoping that GS 3.0 can resolve some minor issues.

Issue : I have 35 deployment servers offering four flvaors of images (laptop, desktop, developer and clinic image). Each master imaging folder contains individual imaging tasks (Windows 7, Office 2010... etc....). I have seen technicians move or delete imaging tasks by mistake when they drag and drop using DS console and there is no alerting mechanism. I wish I can use "Initial Deployment" feature and offer master imaging folder so that there is no need for technecians to use DS console. My understaing is that you can only add indivual imaging tasks not folders to "Initial Deployment". I have GSS 3.0 running in my lab but I do not see any changes made in initial deployment or DS console security. 

Try Ian Atkin's ImageInvoker; https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/downloads/imageinvoker-v10-client-initiated-imaging.

Thank you. I am testing imageinvoker on GSS 3.0 beta but it appears Ian needs to tweak some settings to make it work with WINPE 5.0. I wish Symantec can include this as a Product feature.

Ian is not employed by Symantec but works for a well known University in the UK. I know he is kept pretty busy by his day job and the current version meets his department's current needs so I suspect there is not a real incentive to release a newer version at the moment.

Symantec are taking a look at Ians Imageinvoker and see if we can use / replicate some of the work and ideas there in GSS so watch this space.
