  • 1.  Help! Ghost Cast won't start! Confilict in message

    Posted Jun 27, 2007 12:01 PM
    I am trying to image 30 computers that have sucessfully imaged before (on this server, I have recently moved GSS) and now they will not start the Ghost cast.
     
    The server session says 'In progress' and the clients say 'waiting for session to start'
     
    If I try one computer it times out and gives me the followin error file:

    I am not sure what this means, but I need to get these computers running ASAP!!!
     
    I can run a manual 'cast' to the computers, but every time I try through the console I get this problem.
     
    I have updated the drivers for the Intel NIC but still no luck.
     
    Thanks for the help

    Hi James,

    When you use the manual GhostCast, did you run the GhostCast server in the Console machine? There were several posts in this forum some AntiVirus software blocking the ports used by GhostCast server.

    Did you select multicast or unicast when doing the manual GhostCast?

    Nothing has changed in terms of Anti-Virus, but I will investigate this,
     
    I have now found that it works when using Unicast but not for Multicast (did try Directed as well but same result as Multicast)
     
    I now have my 30 computers working, but i had to do them in small batches. I still need to find a fix for this but not so critical now (expect i need to image about 200 computers in the next six weeks!)
     
    Thanks

    Hi James,

    Yes, unicast is not the most efficient way when you have that many machines :-)

    Though you did not change anything in the Antivirus program, there were some posts in this forum, certain updates blocking port 6666. In that case, Ghost will fail with the same error code. But most likely in that case, unicast will not work either.

    One other possibility is your network not supporting IGMP (multicast). Most of the routers do not enable this by default. This applies to directed broadcast too.

    Hi, I'm having this exact same error messages show up whenever I attempt to push out an image.  I've tried running without antivirus and firewall turned on, and the same error message continues to show up.  The network admins have assured me that multicast is enabled over the entire network.

    Is there anything else that could possibly be causing this error?  I also have a large number of machines that I have to image within the next two weeks, and while I can achieve this using unicast, the amount of time to image that way doesn't leave me much time to do final testing on the deployed machines.

    Hi,

    If unicasting works but not multicasting, usually it is network not supporting multicast. (However, I have seen at least one post in this forum one perticular type of NIC could not do multicast but managed to do unicast) The ability to use multicast depneds on enabling it as well as many other settings including the capabilities of the routers/switches.

    One conclusive way to find out is tracing network pcakets at the client. I think it would be useful for you to dicuss this with the network admins and let them check if the network is actually capable of handling multicasting.
