  • 1.  Optiplex 960 imaging slowly

    Posted Nov 23, 2010 05:05 PM

    So after doing some searching on this forum. I see that many people are having problems with the Dell Optiplex 960 and the Dell Optiplex 755. Has anyone gotten Ghost ghost to restore an image in a reasonable amount of time. It's taking me up to two hours to restore an image.

    This is what I have done so far

    1. created a winpe cd with Intel 82567 from here....

    https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/downloads/intel-82567-drivers 

    2. up dated the bios to A08

    3. added the SATA drivers from here...

    It's still taking an hour and a half to image a computer. Downloading to other DeLL models is no ploblem.

    Ghost defaul.ts to multicast; have you tried unicast? The issue I ran into w/ the 755s is when one is shutdown on the same subnet they go REALLY slow when multicasting. My guess is that it has something to do w/ the Intel AMT management, but I could never proove it.

    I don't have any 960s but I would first try unicast, then try different NIC drivers. You'll figureout the problem.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Cheers,
