Ghostcast server running on windows 7?
Im trying to get ghostcast running on a windows 7 machine. I had windows server 2008R2 installed and had it successfully working to image a computer, but unfortunately we have another piece of hardware that needs XP/Vista/Windows 7 to work (You would think it could work in R2 also, but it doesnt)
Currently we have ghostcast installed and updated to the latest version. And you put in the session name, and number of clients and hit accept, and everything seems to work fine. But when you boot from the ghostcast cd on the machine to image it attempts to connect and times out. (this is one of our companies standard laptops and the drivers are on the ghostcast CD, we've imaged serveral of them using ghost cast)
Windows Firewall is off, any ideas? thanks

ip address
What antivirus software are you running? Also, have you tried adding the ip address of the ghostcast server in the box for that on the client, in the dialog where it asks for the session name?
mcafee, but i tried disabling
mcafee, but i tried disabling it already...
And i have tried unicast, automatic, and multicast, all of them timeout the same way. Im not sure if multicast is enabled in the switch, so i have been trying unicast also...
and yes, ive been putting the computers IP address in there
thanks for the quick response!
McAfee
Certainly. Have you added Ghostcast server to the list of exceptions in McAfee? Some programs like that will still block even if disabled, oddly enough. Here is an article on how:
Also, note is the ePolicy Orchestrator is used, that will restore previous settings. You will need to add the exceptions there, too.
Thank you,
Randy
woops
im an idiot, I closed out of mcafee but I didnt disable the service, worked like a charm after.
Haha thanks! usually when someone tells you turn off your antivirus it never fixes my issue, but in this case it did the trick.
I have 3 computers imaging using multicast going 1700 mb/min or so, thanks!
Excellent!
I'm glad to hear that worked!
Thank you,
Randy
