Bob, Have you had any performance problems? The Advanced Concepts Guide states that you may if you don't uninstall it. Just curious........

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 ?

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?

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" From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of jgates@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2004 7:17 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Ghost MPS 3.0? 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
