Sorry, thought about that after I sent it. We use a SQL back end for
the datastore and we really did not do anything special. Attached the
first server to the datastore in SQL and ran sysprep. Used Imagecast to
upload the image to our image server (nas box) and then just fired it
down to the other 15 servers. We even had a server crash on us
afterward (hardware issue not image related) and we imaged that one
again fine. Sorry I can't be of more help but we really did not run
into any problems.

Good to hear Bob, but can you just give a little more detail to help
everyone..
Did you disable the network card drivers ?
Did you remove it from the farm ?
Did you run SYSPREP ?
Anything else you can think of that I have not asked for

We have imaged MPS3 with Imagecast and it works fine. We have
16 servers in production since September that were imaged and all are
fine.

Thanks I found the thread. It doesn't really state if it's MF
XP or MPS. Have you tried it with MPS 3.0?
Thanks,

I have, but so far only restored it back to the same machine.
Sometime next week I'm going to practice cloning it to a new machine.
List participant Phil Newman had this to say about Ghosting
Metaframe, and it's my basic plan of action:
"We use ghost for all out servers - the only modification we do
is to delete the WSID out of the MF20.DSN file, and set the IMA Service
to disabled before running SYSPREP.
The server is then ghosted, and oncew the image has been
installed - the correct WSID, in entered into the MF20.DSN file, and IMA
Service started
regards,
Phil Newman"

Has anyone successfully ghosted a MPS 3.0 on W2K3? I was
looking in the archive and didn't see much about it.
Thanks,
Jobe
