Smeutil driver
"Unable to connect to the Smeutil driver. The handle is invalid"
So I've searched around for this problem, but all the solutions presented don't appear to help me. I've been running GSS 11.5.0.2113 for about 8 months now successfully. I run clone tasks from the Ghost Console to lay down images using DeployAnywhere. 3 days ago I added a MicroPC NIC driver to DA and now all the sudden I'm seeing this smeutil driver error, which apparently is a missing smeutil.sys file. I followed the directions to update my Ghost to 11.5.0.2165. Even though my console says 2113, explorer does say 2165 (btw, I'm in a disconnected network and do not have LU access, I had to get the LU files from Symantec and manually apply them).
I read in the forums that updating to 2165 would solve this issue, but it has not. Is there another way to solve this? I also tried refreshing my WinPE image in Boot Wizard and still nothing.
Please keep in mind I am not doing this from the command line, but through the Ghost Console.
Thanks!

You need to copy Smeutil.sys
You need to copy Smeutil.sys to \windows\system32\drivers\
So I saw that in the forums,
So I saw that in the forums, how do I do that to WinPE from the console?
Or is that something I do on
Or is that something I do on the Ghost Server itself? Put it in the Ghost server's drivers directory?
If so, that did not work either.
copy that file to your WinPE
copy that file to your WinPE image
or copy that to server directory and
run commands: (you can enter this to .bat file and just run it
REM Install drivers using Deployanywhere
del %SystemRoot%\inf\atrsdfw.inf"
copy %server%\SMEUTIL.SYS %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers
\\%server%\ghost\GhDplyAw32.exe /target=c:\windows /ddb=\\%server%\driversdb
to %server% type your server name
run that bat inside winPE
run that bat inside winPE
"copy that file to your WinPE
"copy that file to your WinPE image" So how do I do that through the console? I'm using the console to kick off a clone task. My target has ghost client running on it that reboots the box into PXE then starts the Push session (I have this all automated). I tried adding the smeutil.sys file to DA, but it doesn't recognize it as a driver.
So I copied the smeutil.sys
So I copied the smeutil.sys file to Windows\System32\Drivers on my image before laying it down, and it still fails with the same error. Does anyone else have an idea?
Solved, I guess
So I guess my solution was to just uninstall and reinstall Ghost. Unfortunately this will probably happen everytime I try to add drivers to DeployAnywhere unless someone can give me a better solution.
