Re-image 35 computers from 3 different (geographic) locations

  • 1.  Re-image 35 computers from 3 different (geographic) locations

    Posted Apr 13, 2017 02:29 PM

    We have a set of Lenovo laptops that get transfered amongst our 3 US based locations. The laptops are all the same, and all receive the same image. Currently we are re-imaging these machines on demand from a console job. I'd like any of these machines to be able to be re-imaged at any of our 3 locations. 

    What would be the recommended work flow for this situation? All locations are connected to HQ via S2S VPN, network speed between locations is not fast enough to centralize the image distribution. I currently have a single Ghost server setup in our HQ location and have re-imaged all of the machines. Can the satelite offices run just a console that communicates back to the HQ GSS server, and then have a copy of the latest image file on a local file server? Or, do I need to have a full GSS server at each satelite office, and if so, how do we deal with the machines changing from GSS server 1 to GSS server 2, etc?  

    Thanks

    Hi JTtex,

    I would suggest you to install a PXE Server in each of your satelite (brance) offices and then read the following Connect Article by Ian...
