        Has anyone successfully imaged Citrix Presentation Server 3.0 as
opposed to Xp FR3 or below? We are changing from FR3 to Presentation
server and would really like to image the 16 servers but all
documentation that I have found (and linked below) is for FR3.

        The Powerquest (now Symantec) product referred to is V2i
Protector for Server asnd Workstations.

        Bit pricey but does its job nicely.

         

        BTW Ghost works fine with Compaq/HP Raid controllers althought
they dont support it.

        We use it pretty frequently when we dont deploy using the HP
RDP.

                Ghost technically does not support Raid arrays (although
I think sometimes you can make it work). However I noticed a product by
PowerQuest (now owned by Symantec) that makes images within the Windows
GUI and allows for scheduling images. I think this would have a better
chance of working on RAID systems and they have a server edition. Sorry
I can't recall the name right now...but if you search you will find it.

server

                         

                        Hello all,

                         

                        I know this question has been beaten to death,
but I have been off the list for a while and am a little behind.  I am
in the midst of ghosting a production Windows Server 2003 Metaframe XP
FR3 server to a new HP DL380.  Can anyone point me to white papers
assisting with this?  I don't know if this is possible with the server
drives already remapped and could use a little direction.

                         

                        Thanks in advance.

                         

                        Jesse Korn
