[THIN] Re: Problems with cloned MetaFrame server.

I cannot use a straight image without using SYSPREP, as I will get a
STOP 0x07B message upon restart.

I just found out about this Symantec article:

http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ghost.nsf/docid/2001011211335625

I'm going to try it out on Monday.

Thanks,

Chris

Chris
Are you able to test this without using sysprep ?

Straight Ghost image of your master then ghostwalk the image on the 2nd
server.
