So. I have a few questions:

1. In the organization I'm working in, we have a network with no DHCP server, so we have to give our computers the network configuration manually. Is there a way for the ghost-cast server to automatically configure the client computer using predefined configurations and joining it into the domain?

2. Because we have no DHCP server, as i said, I also need to give static network configurations to the ghost boot media when I create it. That's preventing me from using the same media on multiple machines at the same time (IP collision). Is there a way to give the ghost boot media IP address range instead of one single address? so that each session will get a unique IP address?

3. Is there a way to make an endless number of installations using one ghost-cast session? so that whenever I type the session ID in a client machine it will start a new installation? For example, say that I have ghost cast session with the ID- X and two client machines- A and B. I'm connecting to X session from client A and it starts the installation process. then, I'm connecting to session X from B client and it also starts- can I do that? or is there a similar way to perform the same task?

Thanks

Good Question, Bump!

I would be interested in this too as we would like to be able to spin up Virtual Machines using WinPE and not have to use STATIC versus DHCP since our VMs can't use NATing.
