Hi there, has anyone got any suggestions?

I have a particular pc model of that wont accept a clone task from the console, unless i pxe boot it... its normally the other way around for me :)

Any obvious stuff i could have missed?

Thanks for your time

Jim

What do you mean by "wont

What do you mean by "wont accept clone task"? There could be different reasons - have a look at the task log to see why it is failed. It may be as simple as you do not have correct NIC or storage drivers in preOS.

Take a peek at the logs on

Take a peek at the logs on both the Console & the Client. These will tell you what the problem is.

In case you don't know the client logs are located under c:\program files\symantec\ghost\ngctw32.log

If you're using WinPE remember it takes a while to transfer that to the clients. Is you task failing or are you getting impatient?
