All,

I have 5 servers that i am using Ghost Soultions Suite 2.5 (11.5.0.2141) to manage. I have applied all 3 updates manually (this system is not connected to the internet) All are using the WinPE-512 preOS.

I have a single server that will not work correctly. It is an Compaq DL580.

Using the Ghost Console, i can set a image create task for my server in question. The server will reboot to the preOS, obtain an IP, and contact the Ghost Server. However - the ngctw32 command window will pop up and ultimatly get stuck in a loop saying this:

10.0.1.1:1346 disconnecting from 10.0.1.100:1347
10.0.1.1:1346 sending status to 10.0.1.100:1347
10.0.1.1:1346 acknowledged by 10.0.1.100:1347
10.0.1.1:1346 sending status to 10.0.1.100:1347
10.0.1.1:1346 acknowledged by 10.0.1.100:1347
10.0.1.1:1346 sending status to 10.0.1.100:1347
10.0.1.1:1346 acknowledged by 10.0.1.100:1347
10.0.1.1:1346 sending status to 10.0.1.100:1347
10.0.1.1:1346 acknowledged by 10.0.1.100:1347
(loop forever....)

... This process will loop continusily, and it will not start the Ghost32.exe and create an image of my server.

However - if i manually goto the \GHOST directory within the preOS and start Ghost32.exe i can connect to the Ghostcast server and make an image.... The darn thing just will not do it on its own... Thats the whole point of having this software for me...

I have tried different drivers templates.. I have tried different preOS environments... I have uninstalled/reinstalled the client several times.... I just dont know what else to try, can someone please provide some help here...
