Ghost Solution Suite

arkwage 5 sec ago Hello, I'm running the GSS with Ghost 11.02. I have images of our clients and reghost classrooms on a routine basis. When I attempt to run a job through the console, all clients connect to the Ghost Server with no problems and are listed in the console as active. When I try to ghost an entire classroom, say 25 clients, all clients connect to the session. However, when the image should start to be pushed, Ghost never starts and just says waiting for session to begin, even though all 25 clients are connected. Changing the task to Direct Broadcast has the same results. When I change the task to Unicast however, as soon as all clients connect, the job begins. The problem obviously is that instead of it taking about 20-30 min to ghost an entire classroom, with Unicast the same classroom takes about 4-5 hours.

Hello,

You need to check the settings on any switches/routers that are in this environment. It sounds like multicasting is not allowed. Avoide directed broadcast, though, as this is much less efficient. Just make sure that IGMP is allowed and IGMP snooping is enabled and try again. If you need clarification, check the documentation for the equipment.

Thank you,

Randy
