Hello All.
I'm testing GSS3.1 MP5 and having issues with distributing image and need help to some answers.
Background.
1. I have used ghost sparingly but process such as ghostcast, USB boot, DVD boot all worked fine when i'm
in front of the computer.
2. Current enviroment is all windows 7 Enterprise with the plan to migrate to windows 10. it is in various
location driving distances.
3. SCCM is not an option or considered.
4. 6X different PC models Dell and HP.
5. Active directory access is limit to OU specific with only admin right to OU and AD object within the OU.
ADUC access is limit to read only and write access have to be done through NETIQ DRA tool. AD scripting is
not allowed.
Setup
1. GSS3.1 MP5 on Windows 2012R2
2. Configure = Tools -> Options -> Domain account : with my OU admin account and password.
3. Configure = Tools -> Options -> Task password ( what is this for? the help file is USELESS explaining)
4. Installed ADK 1151 and created boot disk wizard from Ghost Console using WINPE10 and Automation folder
.EXE
5. Create a Ghost boot ISO and burn onto a CD.
6. Fresh install windows 10 with drivers and Ghost Aclient (Agent)
7. Created Unattended file to Accept EULA=True Set Administrator account and Organization name. place file
in c:\windows\system32\sysprep folder
8. Run as admin = sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:unattended.xml
9. Boot Win10 PC using Ghost CD.
10. Win10 Client show up in Ghost console -> Right click Win10 client and Create disk Image.
11. Ghost capture the image successfully and Win10 client boot to sysprep correctly.

Migration Test
1. Fresh install Windows 7 and join to Domain.
2. Push install ACLIENT with OU admin account with no issue.
3. Right click -> Advance -> install automation folder just hang on "Receiving client" on status bar ?????
