Hi,
We've set up a Ghost Server at our Data Center. We are a Windows Domain and my group is in charge of approximately 200 PC's in that domain. I'm in testing phase at the moment as we will be moving to GSS 2.0 soon. We have successfully pulled and pushed our images with no problems in our test lab using a server on the local subnet at our test facility. It worked great. However, as soon as we set the server up in the Data Center which sits in another town on a different subnet, problems have appeared. We can successfully push the ghost client application back to our test machines. No problem there
Problem currently is when we attempt a task in Ghost console to push an image to any of our test machines the following happens.
the machines receive the message they have been scheduled for a task
they successfully reboot into dos and communicate back to the server
then eventually everytime, they error out with "cannot connect to ghostcast server, make sure ghostcast server is ready to accept clients"
This never happened when the server was local. We investigated and found that our mcafee virus scan (8.0i) was blocking ports 6666 and 6667. we disabled that setting and had success from the Data Center for 1 day. Then the same error came back even with mcafee set properly. Now we are at a loss as to what to try next. We've discussed port blocking with our network security team and they confirmed they are not blocking these ports on the routers. Has anyone had this experience and successfully solved it??. Thanks if you can help.
