Deployment Solution

Hello, we are trying to capture an image for a computer that was used at the university and will be put for sale. We go into the computer and reinstall windows and set it up with sysprep and shut down. Then we normally would boot to PXE and then capture the image. Unfortunately the capture image runs and then crashes when it reaches the ghost. (ghost pops up for a second or two and then disapeers.). This is the job currently that is set up.

"Run 'Create For Sale Image'"

This is an option to choose when running the task.

The Create for Sale image is this:

Image Name: ForSale-%MODELNUMBER%-%OS%.gho

Description: Install OS, Drivers, Apps, then Sysprep and reboot; force reboot to WinPE and run this task to capture a For-Sale Image.

Imaging Tool: Ghost

Image Type: Back-up Image.

Base command-line: ghost -sure -clone,MODE=create,SRC=1,DST=%IMAGEPATH%

Source Disk (-SRC): 1

Let me know if I can provide any more information,

Thanks!

If ghost launches for a moment and the closes we should have a GhostERR file with a bit more information on why the capture failed.

In the GhostERR file it states this:

Error Number: 51928
Message: Invalid URL failed to create the image file. 
 HTTP Result: 401, SSL error: 0
Version: 12.0.0.7258(May 24 2016, Build=7258
OS Version: Professional  (Build 9200)
Command line arguments: -z2 -batch -sure -clone,mode=create,src=80,dst=http://smp-ss.emp.ark.nwc.edu:80/{dea28c05-504d-4424-bf9a-4022754de9c6}/cache/forsale-042p49-windows 7 enterprise.gho -dscrypt

Is this the SMP path?

Do we have any SS in the environment?

Does that location exist on the SMP? (I assume it is the SMP as there is no mentioning about PS\DS folder structure that we would have on a SS)

NS logs need to be checked, why that folder creation failed.
