Ghost Solution Suite

Hi,

How can I deploy a manual created start image?

In the pxe configuration everithing worked well (select and import the image). But there is no PXE Menu161 shown when I do the PXE boot.

Do I need a preboot image to boot into my non ghost start image?

If yes, how can I create a preboot image which work with my start image?

Regards

Hi Blackout.

Have you created a Pre Boot configuration, right? Go to "Settings > Deployment > Manage Preboot Configurations". In the new screen, create a new configuration and don't forget to choose the PXE Automation Type or both.

After that, wait your NS / Site Server receive the new policy and create the new Preeboot Image (You will see in the process tab the Bootwiz.exe running").

After that, stop and the PXE services ( Symantec Network Boot Service (PXE and BSPD) and Symantec Network Boot Service (TFTP). Then, test the machine again.

If you won't use the PXE, you can run the Bootwiz.exe and generate the boot image in a CD or Pen Drive. I'm attaching an article bellow that explains all the process.

Please disregard the above information, while informative this process is for the Deployment Solutions product and not Ghost Solution Suite.

The following documentation should get you going.

1. Make sure pxe is setup correctly by following the quick start guide: pxe configuration.

2. The documentation link contains links to how to videos including pxe imaging as well.
