Optiplex 960 Problems
Product: Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.5
Hardware: Dell Optiplex 960
The problem: Fails to run sysprep.exe on the client
Description: After making an "Image create Task" in the ghost console for the target PC, the image fails to create. I was orignially having a problem getting into the virtual partition because network drivers for the card were missing from WinPE. After following the instructions www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/adding-drivers-winpe i was able to proceed to the next step. Now the PC reboots and appears to run sysprep (i know this because i see it going through the unatended setup). However at the part where the PC should reboot into the ghost application and start interfacing with the ghost cast server, it simply reboots into windows XP and the ghost console tells me that task failed at running sysperp.exe. When i check the error more specificly it says to check permissions on sysprep.exe and make sure it exists on the client. I don't think this is the problem.
Randall ! Help!

enabling PXE support for the
enabling PXE support for the NIC in the bios didnt help .. it still says "127.0.0.1 polling for bound server ghost <time>" for exactly 10 mins. then it reboots, runs sysprep, reboots.. and im in windows XP. Maybe there isnt a driver template for the NIC? How do i add one?
Problem still exists. No
Problem still exists. No solution found.
I would add both the NIC
I would add both the NIC drivers & the S-ATA AHCI drivers to WinPE either from Dell or from Intel if you haven't already (I know you mentioned adding the NIC drivers). That solved 99% of my problems when dealing with these newer chipsets.
If you download the drivers from Intel rather than Dell, you may be able to cover more chipset versions than if you download a similar file from Dell.
Would you like to reply?
